Title: HONYWILL/ HONIWILL Family
Post by: VictoriaE1987 on Thursday 21 February 13 21:55 GMT (UK)

Interested in James Honywill born 1826. Married to Mary. Possible spelling of name Honiwill.

Looking for the parents of James.

Any ideas?

Kind regards
Vicky

As the name James HONYWILL is fairly common, you need to work back on this logically. I found 4 possible baptisms around 1826. First, obtain the birth certificate of one of James & Mary's children. This will give her maiden name. Then, using this information you can obtain their marriage certificate which will give both of their fathers' names & occupations.
