Edward George Hill

[Rodger]

I'm  trying to find more information on Edward George Hill who was born in 1877 in Wendron Cornwall England and came to Canada probably about 1881. He is in the 1881 census of Chinguacousy Ontario with his bother Richard and Richard's family and older sister Elizabeth who later married Thomas Leck.
I believe he is in the 1891 census of Trafalgar in Halton County working for Jacob Olmstead. An older sister Mary Pearce and her family are living in Trafalgar at this time so I believe he may have moved close to them. That is the last I can find for him and I was hoping to get more information if possible. Thanks for any help.

No birth reg for him

Where did  you get his middle name & birthplace from as the 1881 only shows him as Edward b England.  How do you know he was Richard's brother?  Nothing on the entry to indicate his relationship?

Richard Hill married Grace Eddy 1879 in Cornwall & Daughter Elizabeth Mary Eddy Hill was b Sept qtr 1879 in Cornwall

Marriage of Richard & Grace

The 1861 census for  Richard shows a brother Edward aged 7.  It is therefore unlikely that the Edward aged 4 in 1881 was his brother.

2 possibilities - he was the illegitimate son of sister Elizabeth or the illegitimate son of Grace Eddy

There is a birth for an Edward Hill - no mothers maiden name - March qtr 1877 Helston

The 1881 has Richard Hill 54 & Elizabeth 50 in Cornwall - youngest child Louisa aged 10.

I think Edward may well be their grandson by daughter Elizabeth (1881 Canadian census)

Did Elizabeth marry & possibly Edward is under her married name?

2 possible 1891 entries

The Edward in the 1861 census was Edward Faul Hill who died in 1863. They had several more children before the second Edward was bon in 1877 and was baptised in 1879. His brother Richard and wife Grace came to Canada in 1880 and Edward probably came with them then.
The baptism shows Edward parents as Richard and Elizabeth. His sister Elizabeth as I mentioned married Thomas Leck.
I thought when I started researching Edward that maybe he was the son of Elizabeth, Richard and Elizabeth's daughter, but I am now convinced because of the baptism record that he was the youngest child of that family.
Either way I can't find any records of him after 1891 if that is him working for Jacob Olmstead. I think that is him in Halton County because his sister Mary Pearce lived ther with her family.

Edward George Hill baptised 4.5.1879 Wendron, parents Richard & Elizabeth

He was baptised along with 4 siblings Eliza, Louisa, Samuel John & William 4.5.1879 Wendron

The above 4 have mmn TREZISE but cannot find a birth for Edward George or marriage of parents

Yes those were 4 of his siblings and his mother's maiden name was Trezise.
