wow thats interesting


still its stopped me dead In my tracks as can't find any younger record of godfrey or mary living with any gills :)

good info thax sylvia

adelle


there are no earlier censuses than the 1841 ................ so you won't find any earlier records of who the Gills are living with.

It is likely to become supposition ..........

...... you need to look at Parish Records to see if you can find a baptism for Mary and Godfrey, and hopefully that will have the mother's name ........................ but not all early Parish Records do have the mother's name on them, only the father's name


If successful, then you have to try to find the marriage between the mother and father, to get the mother's maiden name. That means Parish Records.


Then you'd have to buy a birth certificate, if possible, for a child born after July 1 1837 to the Pearsons, to see what the mother's name is shown as on there ..........


........... if that is the same as the putative mother of Mary and Godfrey, then you have a possible match.
