Reposting as the last thread fizzled out with no responses
The last 100% known relative I can prove linkable to myself is William Lillystone.
Records I have for him are:
- A death in 1899
- A marriage to Adeline Murray in 1865 with father listed as Thomas Lillystone
- Census record for 1841 shows parents as Thomas and Rebecca Lillystone
- Census record for 1871 and 1891 for William Lillystone with Adeline Lillystone
I also have records including:
- a death record for possible father Thomas Lillystone 1854
- a death record for possible mother Rebecca Lillystone in 1843
I am unable to find a birth record. Census records for 1851, 1861, and 1881 and I am unable to find a marriage for William's parents or any other information around them.
I have found other possible routes the records would point me but they don't match entirely to information from the records already gained from William.
Note - the surname Lillystone has been found in many variations and has changed over the years from what it was to what I now have so good luck
So specifics I am looking for help with -
- I am looking for a birth on William Lillystone. I have the death and census's that state age and circa birth.
- I am looking for the 1851 census that shows William Lillystone. The military information provided here by people is reason for him not showing in the 1861 census but I am unable to find the 1851 census with him in either.
- I am looking for William Lillystone's parents. According to the marriage certificate for William and Adeline the father for William is Thomas Lillystone.
According to the 1841 census when William was a child he was living with parents Thomas and Rebecca Lillystone.
I am unable to find a marriage for Thomas and Rebecca.
- I have a death for a Rebecca Lillystone that gives a birth estimate of 1799 which is 15 years after the birth estimate for Thomas Lillystone. I do not have an official birth for her either.
- The only births I can find for a Thomas Lillystone come from 1776 and 1780, which don't match up with the age of death on GRO. These also appear to be the same births to the same parents with different dates on them. All other information matches. (These births are posted at the end of the post)
- Lastly, now I am going back pre 1837 is there any tips people could give me to help a beginner
Thank you so much for any help that comes this way, following is all the information I already have. Hopefully this helps. Please ask if more is needed or anything!!
