Biography
Born the son of a physician, he was educated at Uppingham and St John's College, Oxford,[6] and ordained deacon in 1859 and priest in 1860.[7] After a curacy in Strood, Kent,[8] he was the incumbent at St Mark, New Brompton[9] from 1863 until his appointment as the second bishop of Honolulu[10] in 1872.[11] He held this post for 30 years, until he retired to Tonga where he served as missionary bishop until his death.[12]
Willis was supportive of Liliʻuokalani, the last sovereign monarch of Hawaii, after her 1893 overthrow. Shortly after her release from house arrest in 1896, he baptised and confirmed the deposed queen.[13]
