John Gill - Distington
« on: Sunday 20 November 05 02:49 GMT (UK) »
I would be most appreciative of any more information about the following Gill family. 

In the 1851 census for Distington they are as follows,

John Gill, Aged 57- Agricultural Labourer- Born IOM
Margaret Gill- Aged 60- Wife- Born IOM
Elizabeth Gill- Aged 21- Daughter- Dressmaker-Born Distington Cumberland
Catherine Gill- Aged 13- Scholar- Born Distington, Cumberland.

1861 Census, Distington.
John Gill- Aged 67- Born IOM
Emma Gill- Aged 27- Daughter- Born Distington, Cumberland
Catherine Gill- Aged 23- Daughter- Born Distington- Cumberland
Robert Gill – Aged 7- Son- Born Distington, Cumberland.

The IGI  has the christenings in Distington of two more daughters Eleanor 23.9.1832 and Mary 6.9.1835.
