    • Possibly this is the marriage on 20 Sep 1726 at Fawley between Richard Willis and Mary Willis. However, if both really had the same surname, this poses a problem as the only Mary of the right age are Richard's sister. [3]

    Notes 
    • It seems likely that John may be another child of this marriage, probably born between George and Hannah, but there is no baptism. James, George and John all lived in Ower, a tiny place with probably fewer than a dozen houses, so it seems almost certain they were related.
