Harriet Ann Hill nee Holland b.1874 Pelsall d.1959

Their children were -

I have already contacted Carl Chinn.  He was not able to help me. Can you remember when he did the interview? It may have been after I contacted him.

Thank you

Paul,

Thank you for your reply.

The entry you found for a John Hill 1901 is not the right one.

Yes, the William HIll in Leamore is one of the brothers.

Arthur was my grandfather.

Harry was definetly born at Watling Street, Newtown, Hammerwich. So his birth would have been registered in Lichfield.

I appreciate your efforts to help me find Harry HIll.

John,

Thank you for your reply.

I was told that she was my grandmother's sister, but I cannot find any connection.

I have been searching for Harry Hill b1882  Watling Street, Newtown, Hammerwich. I have only found him on the 1891 census with his family. Unfortunately the family was missed off the 1901 census.  I cannot find a birth entry for him.I have tried Henry and Harry.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Would someone born in Elmhurst be probably  christened in Lichfield?
If so does anyone know how many churches there were in Lichfield the early 1800's ?

 I do not think that  his wife  would have brought  money to the marriage.  He did live in the same lane from at least 1841.

Warwickshire / 1878 Will

I have just received a copy of my Gr.Gr.Grandfather's will made in 1877

I was surprised that an Agricultoral Labourer of that time had enough money requiring  to make a will.

In it he owned his own cottage and two gardens. It was estimated that they should fetch at least £170 when sold.

It would be interesting to find out how he acheived this.  I do not think it was from his father who has ten children and was also a labourer.
