Percy Ernest Hill

[BushInn1746]

I am seeking copy photographs or anything of interest relating to Percy Ernest Hill (son of Thomas Samuel Hill) of Wiltshire who married Florence Elizabeth Marshall. In the 1901 Census they have 2 sons Percy Marshall Hill and Vernon Marshall Hill.

Percy Ernest Hill died before his wife, because Florence Elizabeth Hill later became an Oliver.

Thank you.

From freebmd.rootsweb.com, it appears Percy Ernest Hill was b. 1869, married 1895, and probably died Jun 1907 quarter, East Preston district, aged 38.
Florence E. Hill then appears to have married Edmund A. Oliver in 1909 (same district)

I would suggest getting his death certificate if you're interested in him - he died quite young, there may have been an inquest. Also there may have been something in the local paper about his passing.

 - and Percy Marshall Hill seems to have joined the navy.

If the descendent of the sons of Percy don't have any photos of him, then you might try finding out what happened to his sisters- Minnie Juliet Hill and Alice Mary Hill.

Minnie appears to have married a Francis Henry Wyatt and then married again later in life:

Thank you very much for your suggestions. One can easily overlook some of the records available!

Kind regards Mark
