Willis Family of Shropshire

The Willis family of Shropshire are related to Alister in that Jane Trensam (Transom) Willis was the sister of his ancester Andrew Trensam (born in the late 1600s).  

On 13 January 1701, in Madeley, Shropshire, 17 year old Jane Trensam married Thomas Willis.  They went on to have the following family:
1. Edward Willis (chr. 7 October 1702, Madeley, Shropshire)
2. Marie Willis (chr. 12 March 1703, Madeley, Shropshire)
3. Willis child (chr. 9 March 1705, Madeley, Shropshire)
4. Elizabeth Willis (chr. 25 March 1706, Madeley, Shropshire - 14 June 1708, Madeley, Shropshire) 
5. John Willis (chr. 27 February 1708, Madeley, Shropshire) - obviously died as an infant.
6. John Willis (chr. 13 January 1711, Madeley, Shropshire)
7. Elizabeth Willis (chr. 4 April 1714, Madeley, Shropshire)
8. Thomas Willis (chr. 27 December 1716, Madeley, Shropshire)
9. William Willis (chr. 30 March 1719, Madeley, Shropshire)
10. Sarah Willis (chr. 2 February 1725, Madeley, Shropshire)

Eventually I'd like to expand on this information - so if anyone can assist or if these people fit with anyone's research, please contact me.
