Hi Lois

I have a WILLIS from Penslewood, Somerset. This village is only about 8
miles from Blackford on the A303 east of Wincanton.

1.Thomas Rogers b.1843 in Dorchester, Dorset
..+Dorothy Edith Willis b.1842 in Penslewood, Somerset.

I have looked at the 1881 Census and found several WILLIS in Penselwood,
with a possible brother Arthur and mother Susanna (born Yarlington, SOM)
which I have yet to confirm.

I would be most interested in any information you may have, I have just
found a Second Cousin once removed (ROGERS) from this marriage.

Regards

Richard
