William John Bohn Millard was my great grandfather. I thought he died on 25 May 1936, not the 23 in Kingston and is buried in the Cataraqui Cemetery just outside Kingston. (My granddad was William John Thomas Millard from Kingston, Ontario, Canada where I was raised until 1950 when we moved to the US when I was 12.) His wife was Ellen Elizebeth Hinman (not Inman as some have stated--they were cockneys so didn't pronounce their "H"s. They were married in Walthingstow on 6 August 1882 (where my granddad was born). William's father was Alfred Aaron Millard, a carpenter/joiner (born 26 June 1833 in Wells, Somerset, England and married 6 July 1858) and his mother was Harriet Elizebeth Bohn. He worked with Thomas Hinman Ellen (my great grandmother)'s parents were Thomas Martin Hinman (born 4 June 1827) and Mary Ann Garraway (born 4 January 1824). Thomas was also a carpenter/joiner/cabinet maker. The Bohn's were quite interesting--and well-off. John Henry Martin Bohn was born in Germany in 1757, came to London in 1790 and started his own bookbinder business in Soho (few blocks west of Covent Gardens). He was married to Elizabeth Dundas grandaughter of Deil Watt, the Dundee shipbuilder (cousin of James Watt). Bohn was quite a famous bookbinder and there are some of his signed examples of his bindings in the British Museum (some may be in the British Library, but I haven't been there yet). He was quite wealthy and his actual Will--written in Old English so it's not easy to read--I found it on the Internet (can't recall where now). But is has the name of his children, etc.
William John Bohn Millard is in our Tree as well; of many Millards, though my own ancestors originated in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire.
If you see errors in the following, please let me know.... and if they are the same, would be nice to Merge them into one larger Tree.

Hi, Thelma;
So, if I understand your discussion points, it IS the same man, but just the relationship to Denny that you are questioning?
The ancestry for William in our Tree goes back to Robert Millard born 1520 in Somerset, does that match your information?
Robert Millard
Birth: circa 1520
Combe Hay, Somerset, England
Husband of Joan Phelpes
Father of Richard Millard
Half brother of Robert Millard; William Millard; Thomas Miller; John Milward; Edward Myllward and 5 others
If so, let's Merge our Trees and make it all part of one big Geni tree.
