Hi Trinity,are you sure of the marrige date of 1839?? seems a bit old to be father(53) to 9 children.The children are listed but much earlyer 1819-32,just a thought Phil

A couple who married in 1839 would not have had children starting in 1818 - unless they were like a couple of my gr-grparents -- married 20 years after they started having kids and several years after the last one was born!


1841 in Shackerstone:

Mary Hill 40
Hannah Hill 20
Elizabeth Hill 15
John Hill 15
William Hill 15
Richard Hill 12
Henry Hill 9
Mary Hill 1

So Mary was born c1801. Make it between 1797 and 1801, and having a first child in 1818 (Thomas) is reasonable. Had James just died before 1841?

Or was Mary a second wife, actually? Nothing in the GRO index.


I wish I knew whom my James Hill, who was having kids c1820, had married ...

*All* submitted by a Mormon. But all quite detailed/precise -- except that baptism records would not likely state the mother's surname.

Do you have independent verification, Trinity?
