Their birth village has been mentioned as "Wellinghausen, Hannover", but no village by that exact spelling can be located (maybe Wallinghausen/Willighausen/Williehausen?).
Hello Jim,
their exists a place "Welliehausen" in the former kingdom, later province of Hannover. It is situated about 5 km north of Hameln (on the river Weser) about 40 km southwest of the city of Hannover.
Greetings
