Henry Herbert Wills

Henry Herbert 'Harry' Wills was a businessman and philanthropist from Bristol, and a member of the Wills tobacco family.

Family
He was married to Dame Monica Cunliffe Wills, but the union was apparently childless. However, one of his nephews, Walter Douglas Melville Wills, of Barley Wood (named in Burke's Landed Gentry), bought Barley Wood from his said uncle, thus continuing the family ownership. Henry was a nephew of Sir Edward Payson Wills Bt, Sir Frederick Wills Bt, & Sir Frank William Wills Kt, and a cousin of Gilbert Wills, 1st Baron Dulverton, & Sir Ernest Salter Wills, 3rd Baronet of Hazelwood. One of his brothers, Walter Melville Wills, was also involved with the Wills tobacco family business. ==Archives==
