MILLS and LAY of Bristol/ Wiltshire (General)
That all seems to add up and it appears that William's first wife died and he married a second time to Catherine LAY
In checking out the familysearch.org 1881 on-line censuses I noticed living at the same address as the William and Catherine MILLS family is a Thomas MILLS also from Wiltshire.
It looks like that William and Thomas could well be brothers so I suppose my next step is to get into some Wiltshire records to get further back on this line.
