Post by: MOM OF TWO on Tuesday 15 August 06 20:32 BST (UK)
Would someone be able to look who was residing at Farley hall, Farley, Staffordshire in the years 1780 - 1860.
 Interested in BILL family and family members.

Hi Theresa,

Genuki has the following info about Farley Hall and the BILL family:

There are also some messages on Rootsweb about the same family:

Are you able to give us any information about Constantia to help pin her down?
It's only possible to search the census by name, not house (at least with the access I have).

Searching for "Constan* BILL" in all the England censuses resulted in only 1 or 2 hits per year.

In 1851 you have:
HO107/1973/985/50
Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
Shrubbey Cottage, Glost. Road
Constansia BILL   Head   Unm    50   Landed Proprietor   Staffs, Stow
+ 2 servants

Does this sound like your lady?

HO107/1973/965/10

GLoucester Crescent, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

Mary BILL  Head  Unm  52  Landed Proprietor  Staffs, Stow
+ 1 servant

The 1851 Constansia Bill is the lady I am looking for, the two servants are distant relatives of some ancestors.

Mary on the other 1851 census may be Constantia sister.
Sister of constantia at baptism named as Mary Perks BILL baptised 1784

Looks like I was chasing the wrong link in thinking the BILL family that I am looking for were from Farley Hall were there also lived another BILL family.
