Barbara -

I think great-great uncle Willie's wife did have an illegitimate son who went to USA & "was never heard of again".
His wife was one of the Martins of Smeale, Andreas, and Gr-Great Uncle Willie left part of his estate to the Martins in 1949. I'll try to find the record of this Edwin. You have certainly dug up some new info. on Willie.
