Looking for Charles Henry Hill

[Yorkshire Lass]

Charles Henry Hill (69 Park Street) father's name William married Mary Humphries (71 Park Street) father's name Edward. They were my great great grandparents. Don't suppose anyone else is looking for them . Hit a dead end.

Hi Yorkshire Lass, do you have access to the Ancestry Site? There is a family tree on there for your Gt Gt Grandparents.

Hi Lynn, I do but I think that I have the wrong William. The only thing that I have that is concrete evidence is the marriage certificate. Thanks

 

[lmr3103]

So are you trying to find information on his parents ?

I would like to know more about the man himself because he remains an enigma but yes I am trying to get a lead on his parents. Thanks, Colette

There is a baptism for a Charles Henry Hill at St Martins, 20 Nov 1868 the illegitimate son of a Sarah Hill.

Illegitimate children sometimes gave a made up father's name or step father's first name with their own surname when getting married.

Found Mary with children in 1901 but no Charles and the children in 1911. Can't see them in 1891.

That's great, thank you. Chares and Mary were married in St Martin's. Maybe it's Sarah that I have to chase then. Thank you so much.

Do the marriage witnesses give any clues?
