Send a message to the person who requested a photo of the grave monument of John Woolis with the following comment:
This is John Woollis, the father of my ancestor Robert Woollis, who emigrated to the state of Iowa, USA, around 1853. I have seen records of the births of these two children, Elizabeth and George, but have not had any information about their deaths. Robert and another son, Edmund, emigrated together, but Edmund settled in Ontario, Canada, and spelled his surname Wollis. John's son John remained in Lincolnshire and spelled his surname Woolliss. My great-grandfather changed his spelling to Woolis. He would have seen a Wooliscroft plate that was brought from England, and he may have known of this monument. I'm delighted to find this information, and thank you sincerely for making it available and for notifying possible cousins.Lucille Ann Woolis Andersen, daughter of Robert E.
