I am looking for any information on surnames Nadoo and Willman, specifically William Nadoo and Catherine Willman. I have all the info on their children including Catherine "Kate" Jane Nadoo who is my 2nd great grandmother who was married to Richard Benson Bennett, my 2nd great grandfather. I am looking for info on Catherine's parents and who came before them. One document states William's name as Charles Nadoo, but no others which is puzzling since it is Catherine Jane Nadoo's death registration, his daughter.

Francis Wilman. He signed for his pay so he could write.

Don't see anything on Frances or Catherine after 1871 census. Did not find a death registration for them.

On looking at Kate's death rego, the information was given by her son. Perhaps he didn't know or remember his grandfather's name and also says he was b France
Annie Nadoos marriage rego gives father as William Nadoo.
Charles Henry Nadoo's death rego gives father as William [born Ontario].
1891 and 1881 Catherine is a widow, father b Que, mother Ont. On the same census [1891] the children living with her give parents as both b Ontario.
