While another image was known, the discovery of this additional image of William Willis Bemister was a great thrill.
Born on 7 May 1789 in Corfe Mullen Parish, Dorset England William Willis Bemister came as a young lad age 14 to Carbonear, Conception Bay, Newfoundland to work as a clerk with the firm of George & James Kemp. He married Ann Howell at Carbonear on 25 November 1810 and they had 9 children. He later operated the firm of W. Bemister & Co. at Carbonear. He died at Carbonear on the 30th December 1863.
This is the previous image of him.
