You'd better check George Hill's birth registration yourself ..... I cannot find a birth for a George Hill mmn Britten for 1896 +/- 2 years.

You would have a better idea of the Registration District.

Is this the death that you think is Henry sr?

HILL, HENRY 43
GRO Reference: 1894 J Quarter in PANCRAS Volume 01B Page 6

Hi Arthur

Hope you enjoyed your time away in Greece

You might be interested in the fact that GRO has digitised the birth and death index, with additions, and they are available to see for free on their site.

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp

You have to register (or log in if you have previously registered) ....... that's in the box to the right.


The major changes to the ordinary Index that you see on Freebmd are that mother's maiden name is shown on all the records IF different from the child's surname ....... ie, it doesn't show for an illegitimate child.

Full names are shown instead of an initial for 2n or 3rd names

Ages are shown on death certificates ....... although they don't seem able to add "mnth" or "yr", so a child who died at the age of 6 months will be shown as having died at 6 ............... and "you" have to decide or work out whether that is 6 mnths or 6 yrs!


I'm just going to see if I can find the death that you mention for Henry Hill in 1894, and if the addition of the age helps.

Tabitha ............

so sorry to hear your news. She must really be feeling lost after so many years married ....... that's an almost unbelievable length of time!

She has no need to feel she has broken her promise, but I know that it might be hard to convince her of that.

Take care xxxx

Just a very quick message - My father in law died this morning - so we are all feeling very strange. The in laws had been together 77 years & we are very worried about Mum now.

We are hoping that she will think about the new great grandchild due in March which will keep her healthy and wanting to continue - trouble is she wants to be with him now. She is feeling guilty about not having him at home with her, as he had to move to a nursing home last week. She thinks she broke her promise to him.

Would welcome your thoughts on a problem.

My maternal grandmother's brother George Hill appears on a 1901 Census with his mother Rosa Constance nee Britten. He is shown as age 5. Also listed are his sister, Gertrude Haack, her husband August and their son Charles, her sister Lilian Maud (my grandmother and her sister Edith Grace. All living at 427 Liverpool Road, Islington

His father Henry Hill was born Dec 1850, and is shown on the 1891 Census living at the family home 29 St Paul's Place, Islington.

I had believed Henry Hill had died in 1894, making George's father someone else.
His mother died in 1904.

Have not been able to find any further on George. I have checked whether he was living with a sister using 1911 Census - he was not.

How would you suggest I proceed?

Just delivered the girls to the cattery.

Off to Greece in the very early morning for 10 days to see the alpine flowers.

Keep smiling

Arthur

I agree its just us 3 now - at least we can keep it going for a while - Sue may pop in to tell us about her little dog.

Arthur thank you for the PM - hope all are keeping well

Shadow is very well but grumpy the weather has turned.

I love the Autumn - just so very busy at the moment.

Just got back from a business trip to Bratislava & Prague - still very tired.

It seems no-one wants to talk to us!!!

.Lovely to see you both pop in again Robert & Arthur.

I am still here on another thread -

This use to be such a happy little place - it kept me going through some very painful & depressing weeks. I would have faded away without it and all of you helping me through it all especially after 3 very long & upsetting operations in 2009 and again in 2014 after another very trying time with the work situation & operation again. My little family on here really helped me so much.

Hope ~Reece is keeping well too.

I miss you all & our little chats

Still here

Have had a short holiday in Spain to 'chill out'.

Now busy with an overgrown garden.

I am also giving a series of talks on my holiday in Armenia and Georgia - this has taken days to preparei n Powerpoint. It is great to see my holiday again and as the talks are to groups of people I know, they are generally good social evenings.

Must try tp do some more breaking down of walls during the winter. The Daily Express is forecasting 4 months of freezing weather.

Do we know when WDYTYA starts?

Best wishes

Arthur

Just had a look at some of the posts from when we came on here in 2010.

Quite nostalgic - and sad seeing some of the names.

Who could forget Frank, my fellow Scot from Glasgow?

I look in occasionally, just being NOSEY but I do like to keep up to date with what is happening. As Sylvia mentioned not so many people are getting involved on many threads.
Sad- but a sign of the times?

Hi ya

Happy Birthday xx


Yep, so many are disappearing, old once popular threads are reduced to 2 or 3 people keeping them going ...... it really seems that GR is on the down and out :-( :-( :-( :-(

Mind you ........... it has also been the summer and people go out and about

Dont know where everyone has gone to

Just thought I would give myself a birthday treat & say Hello to anyone still looking in to the thread

Hope you are all keeping well

Ah i love Edinburgh too - spent may happy days there - we have had 3 x 2 week holidays there so far.

We stayed near Inverness & drove over to Skye & up to John O'Grotas another day.
The year before we went to Lands End (but not from Inverness)

I have always loved travelling around the UK

Pleased you enjoyed your visit to Northumberland - it is a County that has everything. I pass through it frequently on my visits "home" to Edinburgh.

Glad to hear all is well - hopefully summer will be lovely - we were up near Alnwick & Bamburgh Castle in the Autumn a couple of years ago & it was a beautiful time of year to be there.

Cynthia has been Black & Blue recently - she had a very nasty fall

I did tell her to take more water with it (my Granny use to say that)

I think the bruises are getting better now.

Not heard from Reece or Sue lately

Thanks Tabitha, good to hear from you too.

Life in the shell is quite good. Winter was reasonable with virtually no snow in the North East of England. Temperature wise Spring was about the same as Winter but now that Summer is here the weather is much warmer and we have managed to avoid the thunderstorms that some have had.

Lovely to hear from you - How is life in the shell?

Hope all the other "use to be regular" thread users are keeping well
