| Dean Dewis | dewisfamily@talktalk.net | UNITED KINGDOM | DEWIS Can anyone help me find when and where my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather William Dewis was born, and who his parents were? He was born c1773. In the 1841 census he is living in Bulkington and is a farmer. The 1861 census says he was born in Bulkington, and is living with his son John. He married Elizabeth on 22nd January 1809 in Bulkington. All information says he was born in Bulkington, but I can’t find a record. |
