Hello Gillian

This isn't my family. I've ben helping Jane who's trying to trace brothers and sisters of her ancestor, William Killey b 1814 in Santon. Jane's away on holiday at the moment, so I'll try and find out where we've gone wrong. She believes that William's parents were John Killey and Mary Callow. If she's right, then William had a sister, Eleanor Killey b 1818 in German.

We don't know for sure who Eleanor married, but one possibility is William Corris, and the IGI has these children for a William Corris and an Eleanor Killey:

****************************************************
Some of these children are entered as "father William Corris / mother Eleanor Killey", and some just have the name Eleanor for the mother. They do seem all to belong to the same family because you can track them through all the censuses from 1841 to 1881:

Do you know the maiden name of your great grandmother Eleanor Corris ?

It's possible that Jane's relation Eleanor Killey b 1818 married someone other than this William Corris whose family lived at Foxdale.
