Notes

On Lillian's birth registry her parents are listed as Walter Billyard and Permilla Green and the return was filled out by William Billyard on April 27th, 1906. This could be a simple mistake but it implies that perhaps William thought that Lillian was not his own child but his brother Walter's. Also, the birth registry notes that Lillian's father was living on John St., Dunnville at the time.
