Robert Mills, the son of William Mills and Mary Greenwood, was born at Lower Lane Rochdale, England.  Family tradition says 5 Oct 1814.  Research by Mary Ann Curtis of the Utah Gen. Society Staff finds the entry of his chr. as follows:

            Robert Mills chr. 29 Mar 1812 son of William and Mary Mills (Bishop's transcript of St. Chad. Rochdale Non-Conformist Church)

Another entry Mary Mills born 4 July 1811 dau of William and Mary Mills in the Union of St. Chapel.  This is quite likely a sister of Robert.

Another item of interest found in the chr. At St. Chad. 11 June 1805, Hannah the dau. of Mary Green wood and William Mills both of Lower Land, Rochdale Lancs. Eng.  This couple may have married at a later date, but we know they were not married when Hannah was born.  Research is now being carried on for more information.

The endowment cards were studied to see if this William Mills could be found.  one name in particular seemed interesting.  William Mills, the farther of Robert Mills chr. 4 Oct. 1784.  He was the son of Edmond and Mary Mills of Lower Lane, Rochdale, Lancs.  To prove this the burial of William Mills must be found.
