I am searching for information on a Mary Willis who lived in the Binghamton, NY area in 1936- or any family/descendants. Possibly born in 1919 or thereabouts.

Was Willis the maiden name of the Mary Willis you`re looking for? The 1930 census shows a Mary Willis b. abt. 1922 in the town of Union. She was the daughter of Harry & Lena Willis.

Thank you for your response! I did find that and have been trying to find any information about Harry, Lena and siblings but haven't had any luck yet to see if in fact she is the Mary Willis I am looking for.

Try searching for "Harry A Willis", and "Harry Willis" at http://www.fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html
This should give you quite a bit on this family.
I'd recommend setting the drop down lists to "the exact phrase", "500" (Items per page), and "name" (Sort type). Then click on the Search button. When the results show up, scroll down to the start of the Binghamton newspapers. Good luck.
