Additional Information
Reginald’s birth certificate records his father as John Willis, a miller, rather than Clarence John Willis, also at times a miller. However, his certificate of marriage to Rebecca Bone records his father’s name as Clarence John Willis (deceased), and his certificate of marriage to Hilda Lowlett records his father’s name as Clarence John Harris Willis (deceased), which seems to remove any uncertainty.
