    Note about marriage Sometime before or during 1859, Ann took up with William Rains, having their first child together in 1860, though it was 4th February 1871 before they wed at the Registry Office in Adelaide. Ann declined to give her exact age, but William is said to be 59; both were widowed. The marriage registration records their respective fathers as William Willesee and John Rains.   [2

    Family 1 William Robert WILLESEE,   b. 1852 
    Note about marriage It is not known what the relationship was between:-
    * William Willesee (born 1796) who was the father of Ann Willesee Deans, who was the mother of Lillia.
    * William Robert Willesee (born c1852) who had a child with Lillia. The child was named William Robert (junior) Willesee - born 8th June 1882.
    That is, William (1796) was Lillia's grandfather, and William (1852) was her partner. But we do not know the relationship between these two men. Maybe Lillian and William (1852) were cousins.  
    Note about marriage The relationship between William and Lillia was probably short term:-
    * We have not found any record that they were married.
    * The only indication we have of their relationship is the birth of their son in 1882.
    * William married Mary 6 years before the child was born - and he married Harriet 2 years after the baby was born. (Mary might have died before this.)
