Hmmm... In my tree I have Benjamin WILLETTs (!!!) married to a Flora BISSELL.

In the 1901 Census there is:

Pearson Street., Cradley Heath, Rowley Regis
Benjamin Willetts Head 28 Chain maker b. Rowley Regis
Flora Willetts Wife 24 b. Rowley Regis
Isaac Willetts Son 6 months b. Rowley Regis

Then 3 entries away, there is:

Samuel BISSELL Head 54 Chain maker b. Worcs., Cradley
Elizabeth BISSELL Wife 52 b. Rowley Regis
Constance P BISSELL Dau 21 Dressmaker b. Rowley Regis

Hi NL I have some notes for Neri Bissell, no DOB but he had two daughters Emily 1848 Cradley Married Alfred Withers and Hannah Bissell 1849 Cradley Married John Withers, brothers maybe, I haven't checked as they are not in my tree? Best Wishes from linell.

1881 he is down as NEAL BISSELL.
