Their children were: Annie, James and Albert and there may have been others. I think their was also a neice or grandchild called Florence Hilton. Hope to hear from anyone with any info

	April Have you tried contacting the Wolverhampton Archives offices, they may look things up for you if you can't get in and visit. www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/leisure_culture/libraries/archives If they can't look things up for you, they may give you some pointers. I have found them to be very helpful. Dee

My Hiltons moved from being Carpenters in Lincs, to Miners and Glassblowers in Doncaster via Derbys. Do you think your Hiltons were always from Wolverhampton ? Alan Hilton
