Descendants of MaryAnnie Willis
Generation No. 1
1. MARYANNIE11 WILLIS (JOHN10, WILLIAM9, JOHN8, ROBERT7, THOMAS6, JOHN5, ROBERT4, ROBERT3, ROBERT2,
FATHER1) was born July 16, 1872 in Gateshead, Co. Durham, Eng, VSI- 3rd Qtr #10a 821. She married JOHN
RICHARD AUBIN December 14, 1908 in St Aidan, S.Shields, DUR. VSI - 4th Qtr. 10a1223. He was born Abt. 1865
in England, age 5 on 1871 census & 43 on 1908 marriage.
Notes for MARYANNIE WILLIS:
Her marriage entry record #174 gives her name as Mary Annie, age 35, spinster, no profession, residence 25
Salmon Street (S. Shields), father John Willis deceased, his profession Supt. of Bridges (railway, as his trade was
Mason). Below, the minister writes that he married MARTHA Annie Willis! Witnesses were Wm. Willis likely her
older brother 1860-1940 and Mary Willis, perhaps her grandmother Mary Langton Willis born 1835, so age 73?
Her groom was 43, widower, Master Mariner, residence 451 Stanhope Road (S. Shields), father Philip Aubin
deceased, mariner.
There is a Mary A. Willis in the 1891 census of Whickham, age 18, born there and servant to an elderly couple
Thos. and Ann Richardson. She may be our Mary Annie Willis, daughter of John Willis and Mary Langton, who
later married John Richard Aubin.
Mary Annie became step-mother to the two children from her widowed husband's first marriage in 1891 to Mary
Ann Blackburn who was born in Gateshead 1870 and died in South Shields 1907. John Wm. Aubin was born in
South Shields and registered in Q4-1892, #10a 787. Edith May was also born in South Shields, Q2-1894, #10a
792.
Notes for JOHN RICHARD AUBIN:
John R. Aubin was first married in S. Shields, Q3-1891 per registration 10a 939 in FreeBMD. His bride was Mary
Ann Blackburn born about 1870 in Harton St. Peter Parish, Gateshead to William Blackburn age 34 and Ann 25.
She died in Q1-1907 #10a 530 in South Shields.
John re-married in South Shields, 1908 to MaryAnnie Willis daughter of John Willis 1826 - and Mary Langton
1835 - .
"I remember a May Aubin visiting our family in Port Arthur, Ont. I would guess it was after my parents were in
England for the 50th wedding anniversary of Dad's parents in 1933 and before the outbreak of WW ll in 1939.
She was a very pleasant lady and there was mention of a sea captain. Perhaps she was John's daughter Edith
MAY Aubin born 1894, making her 45 by 1939. To a lad of 14 all adults are old but allowing for that she seemed
50-ish." (Norman Beath Willis)

Notes for HENRY W. AUBIN:
On the 1933 Willis Family of Whickham chart under its typed entry of "Annie Willis 1872
married Capt. Aubin" Janet Beath Willis wrote "Harry married Dorothy Makepeace" which
was a puzzle for a long time until a query to FreeBMD led to a helpful gentleman at
"makepeace@one-name.org" who was able to give the information shown.
