The 1893 marriage, again:

For one thing, if Lily in 1911 is the same person, she would only have been c15 at marriage. Not impossible, I suppose.

But anyway, it was Walter Hemmens who married Lily Chivers:

Are you quite sure you've got the right 1911 for your George?

George in 1911 was born in Fenton, not Hanley (yes, I know they're both parts of Stoke on Trent).
Lily in 1911 was born in Falmouth, not Bath.
William in 1911 was born in Fenton, not Bristol.

It seems like a lot of wrong info on the census if that's your George.

EDIT:
No, that can't be the same Lily who married George Hill. [ ADDED: But also see next post - Lily Chivers didn't marry George Hill ]

Lily Chivers

Birth Year: abt 1879

Spouse: Frederick Denning

Martin, William is not 3 on the 1911 census, as posted above he is 14.

I can't see the marriage you refer to? oh yes I can but it is Chivers not Chiver

Marriages Dec 1893 (>99%)
Chivers Lily Bath 5c 1096
Hill George Bath 5c 1096

Child?

HILL, WILLIAM CHIVERS
GRO Reference: 1897 D Quarter in BRISTOL Volume 06A Page 23

You could buy the marriage cert to see if George's father matches?

Confirmation that George Hill - parents are definitely William Hill and Thirza Newman.

1891 census shows George Hill at 59 Mellville Street, Hanley, Staffordshire.

I did find a Marriage possible -

Lily Chiver, Somerset - date of marriage 1893 5 a 1096, pg 54

1911 census definately states William is son of George and is 3yrs of age.

FOR ELIMINATION ONLY:

this is NOT the same family:

That Lillie's ms was Tooth.
She and that George married in 1903 and are together in 1911 census.

Birth of son William ????


HILL, WILLIAM HENRY mms HAMMONDS
GRO Reference: 1896 S Quarter in STOKE UPON TRENT Volume 06B Page 259


Parents' marriage:

Marriages Dec 1895 (>99%)
Hammonds Mary Ann Stoke T. 6b 341
Hill George Thomas Stoke T. 6b 341


Per 1911 census, George and Lily had been married for 15 years, which would fit the above marriage.


Could Lily just be what Mary Ann liked to be called?

But there are loads of Mary Ann Hammonds born in Staffordshire - and none in Falmouth. Or maybe Falmouth is a mistake on the census ???





George is George T in 1891 with his parents and siblings;

I can't see George and either Lily or Mary Ann in 1901.

Can we assume you’ve looked at freebmd for a marriage between George Hill and a Lily?

Alternative is to look for the son’s birth on the GRO site, where MMN is given

I am trying to find maiden name of Lily, born c1878 - married to George Hill born 1875 Staffordshire.

1911 census shows them both living 106 Raglan Street, Fenton, Staffordshire with child George Hill.

Lily showing as born Falmouth, Cornwall. Marriage according to census should be around 1896 but I am at a loss trying to research her maiden name to get the marriage details. Any help welcome
