Title: Edward Hillas/Hilles or Hillis
Post by: Gortinanima on Saturday 10 May 25 08:00 BST (UK)
James Hillis married Lizzie McKee in St Paul's Belfast in 1897 and can be found in the 1901 census in Cupar Street, Belfast

In 1911 the family were in Ross Street, Belfast

According to James Hillis' civil marriage record of 1897 he was a son of Edward Hillis, car-driver deceased. The Catholic marriage entry actually names James Hillis' parents as Edward Hillis & Mary Murray.

I am struggling to find Edward Hillis the father - any help would be great, thanks.
