hi trying to find info on my great grandfather richard hill born in lancashire and later married kate edith davies in hereford just trying to find out when he was born and whereabouts and when he moved to hereford! oh they married in 1902

Rebecca
Who is shown as his father on the marriage certificate and how old was Richard?
You need more information before you can trace a common name.

Gwyn

hearsay from my uncles say he was born in lancashire

we don't know all we know is he moved to hereford married kate then died and kate moved to birmingham to move away from the shame of richard getting one of his servants pregnant and this was what my grandfather told one of my uncles his son before he died

and richard hill was their grandfather so not two generations removed apparently he was 95 when he died

kate was his wife her name was kate edith davies i've narrowed his year of birth down to 1843 in lancashire but not sure weather it was warbledon or salford i do know that he drove trains and drove a very famous one called the flying scotsman! He also had an illigitmate child with one of his servants after 1930 his was about 95 when he died

Hi Rebecca, I think you will find his birth - 1843 Newton-le-Willows - on Lancashire bmd. It's very easy to send for his birth certificate from that site and then you will discover the name of his mother etc. Hope this helps.

thank you but don't know who elizabeth hill is as my grandmother was kate edith hill and their children were richard harold hill and percy reginald hill

i think she might have been because i have just found his last will in testament and it says very specifically that he revokes all other wills
