My third great grandfather was John Gill, born in Alston in 1785.  I'm having a lot of trouble trying to trace the family back further than this.  I know his father was called John Gill but there are so many others with the same name it's hard to know which one would be my 4th great grandfather.

Not as far as I know.  My John Gill moved to Carlisle where he worked as a cotton weaver.  I don't know if the whole family moved to Carlisle or whether it was just him.  His son William was my great great grandfather and his daughter Emma was my great grandmother. 
The Gill family seem to have a lot of repeated names and parish records don't give a lot of information.  People seem to have made whole family trees going back centuries but when you check their records they all differ significantly so I'm guessing there's a lot of copying going on with no real research.
