Hi!

I wondered if this might be them in the 1881 census...

All Cannings

John Merrett        Head         M     Male      63     All Cannings, Wilts
Vashti Merrett      Wife          M     Female   62    Etchilhampton, Wilts
Noah Merrett        Son          U      Male      40     All Cannings, Wilts
George Merrett     Grandson    U     Male      21    All Cannings, WIlts
Edward Merrett     Grandson    U     Male      12    Devizes, Wilts

and

Allington in Devizes
RG11/2041 Folio 6 Page 5


Matthew Hilliar     Head   M    Male       41    Bishops Cannings    Shepherd
Elisabeth Hilliar    Wife     M    Female    45   Bishops Cannings
Mary Jane Hilliar   Dau     U     Female    17   Bishops Cannings    Servant
William Hilliar        Son            Male       15   Bishops Cannings    Shepherd
Frank Hilliar          Son            Male       8    Bishops Cannings    Scholar
Ellen Hilliar           Dau            Female    6    Bishops Cannings    Scholar
Annie Hilliar          Dau            Female    3    Bishops Cannings

There are other possibilities, but these seem most likely - I don't know if
it matches any other information you have.

Hope it helps!

Hi Many thanks for the merrett/Hillier info,yes you are correct,George Merrett b < 1859 > was illeg son of Sophia Merrett,John & Vashti Merrett Daughter.George Merrett Married 1881  Mary Jane Hillier and had several children one of which was my Grandfather Frederick Merrett,but for some reason spelt his name (Merritt)he moved to Norfolk or was posted to Norfolk as he was in the Scots Greys, where he married and settled.I would very much like to try and contact any living members of the family,as we live in Norfolk research is not easy
Thanks again Ray
