Following through the tips and hints I recieved, I discovered the evidence submitted to the enquiry into the Belfast riots of July and September 1857, as well as other incidents in George Stewart Hill's life.  This also led me to his uncle (Adam Hill) who seems to have been suspected of being an incompetent old man whose indolence contributed in no small way to the conflict!

I realise I have come onto this thread a long way down the line date wise but it interests me. I have a great uncle who married a Mary/Minnie Jane Hill in 1883 in Dublin. She is listed as underage but I know from other records that she was born 1866. Her father on marriage record is listed as George Hill, Gentleman. One of the witnesses is a Louisa Hill. My great uncle was serving with the mounted Royal Irish Constabulary in Dublin. It's a tentative link but I just can't find a birth for her and grasping at straws. I will have a day in Dublin soon to look for her. Do you know if your George Stewart Hill had any children.
Have you ever found his mother's name? If not When I go to Dublin (it is a day trip fro me)  I will have a look in Dublin City library (as I will be looking for a George Hill, Gentleman anyhow) and see if I can come across anything.

Hi lenani, welcome to RootsChat and thanks for your response.

I've pushed my Hill line back to the early 1700's, but have not found the marriage of George Stewart Hill and Lucy ??? sometime between 1825 and 1837.

Hill families in Ireland seem to be many and large, but the George, Lucy, Louisa and Police and Military seem to run through my lot.

My George Stewart Hill (parents as above) married Louisa Caroline Richardson (parents John and Matilda) and they had children:
15-3-1867 to 10-1-1918 George Stewart Hill
12-11-1868 Charles Richardson Hill
17-5-1871 Lucy Matilda Hill
c. 1873 Isobel Hill

Doesn't leave much room there for your Mary/Minnie I'm afraid, though I do recall a Minnie who I have been unable to find again.

I do not understand how the marriage place for the same people on the same date can be both Dublin and Nova Scotia.

I have Lucy's (Nova Scotia) birth certificate.

Their first 2 children were born in Dublin.

Your Isabella find fits the only thing I knew - birth c. 1873 (from ages at marriage and death) - thankyou - confirms the family went from Ireland to Canada - they later went to New Zealand.

Hello Pejic, no it doesn't look like my Mary/ Minnie would fit in there anywhere. Did you get a copy of the marriage record?
Reference the marriage taking place in Nova Scotia on the LDS records, my guess would be that another descendant researcher knew the date but guessed Nova Scotia as they knew they lived there and perhaps didn't know about Ireland. if you click on the batch number it quickly flashes up " Search results from user submitted genealogies" The old LDS site used to let you see the submitters (if they gave their permission) but I don't see that option. I'm sure it is possible but I haven't used the site since it was updated so I am not very good at it now.
