Find Ancestors

Which of Silas and Charlotte's children is your direct line?

Susan

You asked about the best site.........well, for research, it certainly isn't GR

When your sub expires, my advice would be not to renew it. If you'd asked around on here before taking out the Platinum sub, you'd have been advised against it.

Those of us who try to help on here mostly use Ancestry, although a number are now using FMP, because they have 1911.

Personally, I have Ancestry.......plus the 1911 on FMP

Here's Charlotte with a Boarder in 1891 and no William.

I can't see an obvious match for your William after 1881. So I wonder???

This is from Freebmd.

Ok, Thank you. Then I suspect that the William that you have found on the 1911 isn't you William but the other fellow.

Hi again i am a direct desendent of silas and charlotte they were my great great grand parents sue

Sorry, I am using Ancestry.co.uk as I only have a basic membership on here. My Ancestry sub came free with the Family Treemaker software that I use.

This is the William that you have on the 1911 census in 1891 and he is a Fishmonger. So looks like a different person.

So the question is which of these Williams is the one from your family?

Are you descendended from a sibling of William son of Silas and Charlotte or are you a direct line descendant from the William on the 1911 census please?

thankyou, would you please give me some advice, i am not getting as much info from the records that i have (platinum member on genes) you seem to be able to find out a lot more than i can may i please ask your opinion on which is the best genealogy site for the most info, they all claim to be the best. sue

This looks to be the same William in 1881 living with his widowed mother?

This is William's details from the 1861. His occupation is some sort of Journeyman but I can read the second word.

From the other thread - just to keep everything together.

so sorry i am trying to do two people at once her i got it wrong it charlotte and silas's son william who had ten children william was born c.1844 ans married elizabeth born c.1841 living in hampshire



1911 Census

william hill 47 head of household
elizabeth hill 50 wife
allan hill 29 son
harold hill 22 son
this william came from crookham and i am presuming it is the same william in the 1881 census who was the son of charlotte hill, the place of birth is different. but i cannot find the 1881 william on any other census. i am guessing its the same one as they are both in hampshire, but knowing me i am probably wrong. sue

thankyou so much for your help, i really appreciate it as although i have been a member for some time i have only just started looking into the tree seriously. once again thanks sue

Looking at the marriage, Joseph in 1861 may be Charlotte's father although he is listed as a Lodger.
