Any relation of John William Willans to Peter Willans (1851–1892) of Willans & Robinson ? Andy Dingley (talk) 22:33, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
- Most interesting. I don't know of a link, but worth looking into. Railfan23 (talk) 22:41, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
- I think they are likely brothers. Peter Willans's full name was Peter William Willans. He was born in Leeds in 1851. John William Willans was born in 1843 in Leeds. Now I just need to find a source to show that's true... Railfan23 (talk) 00:02, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
