I wonder if you know this is the same store or were they in competition?? I remember our family had a similarly posed photo but can no longer locate it. Best Regards, David Hi,

Glad you liked the pics and so glad they were such a nice find for you. It is always fun to find something new eh...? Feel free, if you haven't already, to copy and paste them from this site and use them yourself. These things are for sharing! I would be eager to know of anything else interesting you might have about the Willis family.

Violet married Henry John Ellis (Cobar 1902) and their daugher Lorna Sarah married my grandfather Russell James Oxford. Thank you for the fantastic site and photos. I have been researching for over 20 years so was thrilled to see the photos. I'll gladly pass on any information I come across, although you are well ahead of me. I'd be happy to correspond with anyone else who may also be following the Ellis / Willis lines around Forbes, Broken Hill, Tambaroora, Hill End I have just stumbled across this site looking for information on Joseph Wells Willis and Mary Ann Davidson who were my great great great grandparents through their son William Joseph Wells Willis (my gg grandfather) who married Laura Wegener Reynolds -their daughter Violet Maude (known as Jess and who is in the photo at the Wrightville shop) was my great grandmother who I was lucky enough to meet when I was young.

Just to fill you in: Joseph Wells Willis and Maryann (nee Davidson) were my Great-Great Grandparents - their daughter Sophia Wegener/Wagner (Willis) was my Great-Grandmother - daughter Bernice (Reid) was my Gran and her son George Reid was my Dad. Have a read of how the Reynolds name came into the family! Great to see you are all finding this info of assistance – isn’t it wonderful that these photo’s still exist and in such clarity?
