I am looking for the birth of William James Wills born abt 1830 in Canterbury, Kent, England. I have his Australian marriage cert & also his youngest daughters birth cert, both giving Canterbury, Kent as his birth place. I believe his mother was Ann Bassett who married William Wills at Hinckley in 1827. (But I need to confirm this) Ann Wills was sent to Australia in 1832 on a womens convict ship. She was charged at the Old Bailey in Sept 1831 for stealing. I do not know if her 2 children went with her or followed, or if her husband William Wills went to Australia. Any information would be of help with my search.
Many thanks Merrilyn
