Hi Sarah
This is really interesting, but also quite complicated. If your Francis' parents were John and Frances, then his brother William may or may not be my great grandfather. There is some scandal involved i.e. Olivia, married to William, had a son William Isbill and several daughters and then became housekeeper to a William Wright. She had six more children with him and one was William Isbill, who I think is my great grandfather. My grandmother was Evelyn Mary Isbill born in Foulsham. She married John Robert Hendry and my father, William John, was their first son born in 1921. I have to do more research to find out if I am right as the story I have is anecdotal, coming from my grandmother originally via my mother. So, we may be related! I'm really enjoying researching my family tree but don't give it enough time,really. My family in New Brunswick are related to Arthur Isbill, my grandmother's brother. It's been great getting to know them by email and by post.
We live in interesting times.
Cheers
Jenny
