Possibly an earlier child - Sarah Jane. From 1846 marriage to 1850 birth of William a bit of a gap. It would follow there was an earlier child. It would make the 1841 likely as those are George's parents names (I know relationships aren't actually shown on the 1841)

EDIT - baptised St Mark, Shelton 29 August 1847 by George and Ann Hill

Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:

HILL, GEORGE LLOYD

Your OP re the 1871 census says 3 year old George is William's son ?? The relationship is to George as Head of the house.

From Staffordshire bmd site Birth 1847

HILL Sarah Jane LLOYD Shelton Stoke-On-Trent SHE/010/088

Not seeing her 1851 nor a death though (v. quick look)

If you have access to Findmypast the image of the parish register is on there so you wouldn't need to buy the certificate.

EDIT. - think I have managed to copy the parish marriage entry and have sent it to you in a personal message (go to "Messages" at top of screen and open the message and then click on "get attachments").

Wow you guys are amazing. I had so many possible Ann's. Thats spot on Kath as William and Sarah are Georges parents.

I will send off for the marriage certificate as you advised to help me go further back. I will also tr the links you sent as im guessing they will assist with all the Staffordshire links.

Many thanks Kath and Greyghost.

Marriage 24th May 1846. Both full age. George a bachelor, Ann a spinster.

George's father is William Hill. Ann's father Thomas Lloyd.

Witnesses William Hill (or Hall) and Sarah Hill.

I can't read the occupations (could be Miner).

?? you check through following census to try and "couple up" the others to be sure the correct marriage or check for births using the GRO site above.

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Marriages Jun 1846 (>99%)
Astbury Thomas Stoke On Trent 17 189
Brandell Elizabeth Stoke on Tr 17 189
Buxton Henry Stoke on Trent 17 189
Emery Lewis Stoke on T 17 189
Hill George Stoke on T 17 189 <<<<<<<<<
Lloyd Ann Stoke on Trt 17 189 <<<<<<<<<
Morris Hannah Stoke on T 17 189
Ratcliff Elizabeth Stoke on T 17 189

you need a copy a birth cert. of one of the children to confirm maiden name of the Mother and then the marriage cert. will give full details plus names of Father's to hopefully go back further.

1851 Census original shows William to be aged 9 months and the census was taken 31 March 1851. So born c late June/early July

So IF registered, his birth should show in June or more likely the September Qtr 1850 (6 weeks allowed to register). Not all births registered until mid 1870's and even then some were not

So unless Ann had been married previously then her maiden name was Lloyd

Note, in 1851 there are Lloyd visitors - perhaps a brother of Ann?

You can find out the maiden name of Ann via her children by using GRO as they have MMN on children registered from 1837 - 1918
