Deaf Relatives
Adam ~ Mills from Scotland
ROBERT MILLS and ELLEN ADAM from Paisley in Scotland – their
two of ten children, ROBERT ADAM MILLS and his older brother JAMES were the
first Deaf of about 40 members of the family to attended Victorian School for
Deaf Children, perhaps while there Robert Adam Mills met his future wife
ELIZABETH BRODERICK.
James and Robert are thought to be the first of the family
to have Waardenberg’s Syndrome which affects the ear nerves and cause deafness.
James and Robert started at Victorian School for Deaf Children in 1864. James
married ELIZABETH MATHEWS but had no family.
Their mother ELLEN MILLS (nee ADAM) may have two Deaf sisters, so she
passed the deaf genes into MILLS family.
Ellen’s hearing daughter ELIZABETH MILLS (James & Robert’s sister)
married GEORGE WILLIAMS and had their two daughters LILLIAN and AMY deaf and
the rest of their children are hearing.
The Williams children Elizabeth, Edith,
George, Clarice and Amy passed the genes to some of their children,
grandchildren and great grandchildren. Robert Adam Mills passed the genes onto
some of his descendants including BRUCE MISSEN and DES MORRIS.
