Did he have a brother Edward?
« on: Monday 03 March 08 11:41 GMT (UK) »

Hi, I'm after your help AGAIN Huh

I've found out that my gr gr grandmother's father was an Edward Hill. I've searched Ancestry and the IGI for evidence of this man which because the only thing I know about him was that he was a labourer, it is proving slightly tricky to say the least.

Now I did have a thought about the fact that my gr gr grandmother and her mother were visiting in 1851. The next door neighbours were Luke and Mary Hill. I wondered if they could be relatives of Edward's?

I've searched for Luke Hill in 1841 and found him living in Gedney with his mother, Ann aged 64 and his brother, Mark, aged 20. Luke is 25.

His birth place in 1851 is listed as Tydd Gott (possibly Tydd Goat as it is today).

Obviously I can' go back any further with the Census returns to find out if Luke had another brother, Edward so Im now asking if anyone can help me locate an Edward?

My gr gr gr grandmother was about 30 when her daughter was born so I'm assuming that Ed was born around 1805ish, give or take 10 years. I would also think that the area would be around Tydd or Gedney.

She didn't go on to marry Edward either.

Its a huge longshot to find him.

1841 doesn't state family relationships - so how do you know that Ann was his mother and Mark his brother?

IGI has this baptism:

Luke HILL 22 May 1814 Tydd St Mary

son of Joseph Henry HILL and Susan

Anna

Making assumptions I guess!! Although I have found a marriage for a Mark Hill to a Maria Davison, father Joseph Hill in the same church that Luke married Mary Williamson.

I've also found a John Hill, 1821 and an Ann Hill, 1819 for Gedney which was where they were living in 1841.

I've found no more children but then I suppose Luke could have always been a Luke Edward.

I guess I now need to see if I can find out if Joseph had any brothers/sisters and trace their families.

No, Edward Hill is not the father of Modesty Lambert. Her father is Thomas Lambert. Edward is the father of Modesty's daughter Jane -well according to the birth cert.

Luke was born Cambridgeshire. Tydd Gott or Goat is right on the border of Lincs/Cambs in fact the border runs right through the village so parts are in links parts in Cambs.  Tydd St Mary falls in Lincs and is th nearest parish.

If you go to the Luke Hill baptism that I found on IGI and search on the batch number and surname "Hill" you will find baptisms of children of some Hill families in the parish though, as I say, no more of Joseph Henry Hill and his wife Susan.

One couple producing children at about the same time appear to be a William and Ann - she could be the Ann you found in 1841. (Modified - there's also a Robert Hill and Ann).

I don't see Mark's baptism at all (IGI as we all know is far from complete, even for parishes which are included).  So he may or may not be a brother of Luke.

No Edward either, I'm afraid.

Excuse me for sticking my nose in - is this the same Edward Hill you postd and asked for people to read his name?

Susanna HILL was buried at Gedney 2 Nov 1850 aged 71 - I suspect she was Ann 60 in 1841 (but you never know).

Well, I'm sorry if I've got the wrong end of the stick - but on that thread you said  "it's no use looking on her marriage certificate because she was illigitimate"

So, in that case - her father would not have appeared on her birth certificate ?

I'm just a tad confused....and if he was "made-up" on her birth certificate, then perhaps that's why he's proving so difficult to find?  Or have I misunderstood completely ?

This was the thread re the birth certificate:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,289651.msg1723524.html#msg1723524

Fathers of illegitimate children were sometimes, albeit rarely, named on birth certificates - I don't think one can automatically assume that Edward Hill was a figment of the mother's imagination.
