Richard Willis. Died in the Newbury union workhouse 24th of August 1899. Announcements appeared in the Newbury weekly news and also in the Faringdon advertiser and the Vale of White Horse Gazette dated 2nd of September 1899.

It seems likely that the Richard Willis mentioned in the Newbury weekly news on the 5th of January 1899 had had a seizure and had been taken to the workhouse Infirmary on the 6th of January.

Looking at Richard Willis in the 1891 census it appears most likely that he is the Richard Willis born circa 1845 in Leeds and living in east London as a dock labourer. He had a wife Mary a Hawker
