12 William Amis

13 Richard AMIS ?1560-1631


2m Rachel DANYE 1605

 

 

 

William Amis was a yeoman of Ramsey when he died but he was probably born in the the neighbouring parish of Weeley in 1632 son of William and Grace

 

William married Elizabeth Cole at Great Oakley in 1670 where Elizabeth was the daughter of the vicar. They settled in Ramsey and baptised five children though two died in infancy

 

The disastrous year of 1678 saw the burial of William in April followed by the burial of his only son, 5 year old William, in July and the burial of his widow Elizabeth in November.  That left just two orphan children Mary and Elizabeth aged 6 and 7
