I am trying to research Esther Amelia Hill, don't know much at all about her, but know that she lived mainly in the Ilford Area of Essex, and fostered many children.

I know she was born in 1866, no idea where, but she died in Ilford in 1932. Don't know if she was married herself, or whether she had her own children.

If anyone has any information about her, please get in touch.

Regards Debbie

A copy of her death certificate would hopefully tell you if she was ... wife of....or widow of.

I see on your other thread that she was a Barnados girl. That 1881 census looks quite promising then.
