CAROLINE HILLIER

[jerrylee]

I am trying to trace the parents of Caroline Hillier. I have not been lucky in finding anything on IGI and what information I do know about her is:-

B abt 1818 Lambeth, Surrey
D Apr 151 Southwark, London/Surrey

Married a James Joseph Anthoney on 15 Jun 1835 and they had 5 children.

She appears on the 1841 and 1851 censuses.

If anyone can point me in the right direction to find anything to do with her mother and father it would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks
Tricia

Hi Tricia,

 Where did you find the information regarding her birth in Lambeth?


The IGI has this:

Caroline Phoebe  HELYER, born 10 May 1819 bapt. 30 May 1819  St George the Martyr, Southwark

Parents:  William Helyer & Phebe

Shown as an extracted record.

Hi Nanny Jan,

I got the little bit of information off of the 1841 census which she was married by then and only lists her connection with James Joseph Anthoney.

Thanks for your help

Hi Ian,

I had a scroll through IGI and I found a Harriett Hillier b1813 in Mitcham, mother Sarah and father William but could not find anything to link them for definitely with Caroline Hillier.

Maybe it's just going to be one of those unknowns?

Thanks for the tip.

Christ Church, Southwark burial
1851 Apr 27, Caroline ANTHONY, Downs Buildings, age 33

Wondering if she wasn't a bit older as there is a Caroline HILLIER born 24 Feb 1812 and baptised at St Mary Lambeth 17 May 1812, parents James and Susanna. James and Caroline ANTHONEY had a daughter Caroline Susan. They also had a daughter Harriet, so the Harriet the witness is probably Caroline's sister. James and Susanna also had a daughter Harriet born 1807.

Hi Ian,

This sounds like a good lead. I have checked on IGI and I have found a Caroline (1812), Ann Maria (1814), twins Harriet Maria and Susanna and William Henry were all christened in 1807 and a James (1802) all with a mother Susanna and father James. I know that with the 1841 census people ages were rounded, so even if it says she was 25, she could have been any age between 25 and 29 to fall into this age group, so you never know if she was 29 then everything would ring a bit more. The only thing that puts me off is the death/burial states she was born in 1818 which would throw it all out again.

Thanks again for your help.

Tricia
