Notes:

Born and married to Charlotte Hider as George Willey. At some point, he and his family started using the surname of Willard.
The last Willard Child was born in New York. James William Willard born 1866. Anneta Willard was born Aug 1864 in Canada. So moved to New York between those 2 dates.
The 1866 Rochester City Directory lists George Williard, the 1865 does not. The 1867 City Directory lists Charlotte, Widow of George. So that along with the children’s birth dates ties in with moving to New York between late 1864 and early 1866.
That would also give us a death date for George of about 1866-1867.
The 1920 census for Anneta Debats in Bay City shows immigration in 1864 and born in Canada. So means between August to end of December 1864 if that is not an error. The 1930 census in Bay City says Annetta immigrated in 1867. But James born in New York 1866. Any of the Census info on James in Bay City gives his birth place as New York.

Notes:

On 10 Feb 1857, Peter Hider, son Peter, dau. Elizabeth, dau. Charlotte, granddau. Mary Ann Elizabeth (also: John William Barnett) all departed from London, on the ship Christiana. The ship landed at NYC on 8 Apr 1857. On 10 Apr 1857 the family arrived at Woodstock, Ontario, Canada.
In 1859 in Durham, Ontario, Charlotte married George Willey (son of Edward Willey and Jemima Batey-who lived in Hartfield, Sussex located right next to Withyham).
By 1864-65 Charlotte, George and family had moved to Rochester, New York. By this time for reasons unknown the family was using the surname Willard (instead of Willey). Charlotte's daughter, Mary Ann Elizabeth Hider was also using the name Willard, although she was 4 years old when her mother married George Willey.
It is unknown if Mary Ann Elizabeth knew that the family name was originally Willey or that George was not her biological father.
By 1866 George had died in Rochester.
About 1877 Mary Ann Elizabeth married William H Osborne in Rochester.
By 1880 the entire family had moved to Bay City, Michigan.
In about 1883 Charlotte remarried to James Flood.(per census record of 1900 and death certificate). Place of marriage is unknown. James Flood is in the Bay City City Directory from 1891 on and is living at 2318 or 2313 Fitzhugh. Also living at the same residence is Charlotte's granddaughter, Lillian Osborne and husband Edgar Melvin (per 1897 city directory entry of Edgar Melvin boarding at 2313 Fitzhugh)
Charlotte Flood died in Bay City on Jan 15, 1902. Per death certificate Charlotte Flood was born in England 22 Jul 1833. Her father is listed as Geo Hydar. Geo as a first name is an apparent error. Her first husband was George. Reported by her second husband, James Flood.
