Hi Joe

Thanks for finding the info for me, but already got it all.
I found it strange when i found the unamed female, born 15th April 1868, but she turns out to be Mary Hill, and her mother Martha died 1868 probably in childbirth.

William Hill was born in County Tyrone, Ireland  in 1827 but I have got no further back than picking him up in the 1861 Census where he was an agricultural labourer in Springholme, Urr.

I am also interested in his wife Martha Murray born 1828 in Ireland again picked up in the 1861 Census

I would like any information pre 1861 on both of them.

Thanks again for taking the time to look up the information for me Joe

Best of luck on your own quest

hi ian,

why not try posting the details of the 1861 census for william, it might be a good tool for anyone searching for him in 1851.
