What else do you know about them such as where were they born, parents names ect?

What is your connection to them?

You must at least tell us which country they were born in..........

Also, please say what research you have done yourself.............

Hi All
Thank you for replying to me - sorry for inconvience as I am new to this forum.

Juanita Ann Frances Gill - William Douglas Gill

First they were born in the Hammersmith area London she in 1954 he in 1955
Parents Marilyn Croft and James Francis Gill - they married in 1953 in Croydon Surrey - he was said to have been 24 years old on the MC the address for both on the MC was the same so can't trace him that way - the only James Frances Gill who was born 1928-29 in the UK that I can find was in Exeter Devon. Marilyn was born 1932 Wandsworth

They seemed to have vanished after 1960 - I think they may have imigrated - but hard to find after 1960 -

I am helping my cousin to find her family members -
Any help or advice appreciated - Thanks Jean

On the emigration front the most common destination during the late 1950's and 1960's was Australia. I have looked at the Australian Electoral Registers up to 1980 for a Marilyn Gill living with a James Gill but I have drawn a blank.

Your next best line of attack is to pursue James Frances Gill via his fathers details as indicated on his marriage certificate. The 1928 birth registration of a James F Gill shows a mothers maiden name of Watts. See if you can discover a Gill/Watts marriage and then check the name of the groom to see if that matches the name of the father shown on the Gill/Croft marriage certificate.

If it does you will need copies of the 1928 birth certificate and of the Gill/Watts marriage certificates to see whether Gill Snr's occupation ties in.

Good luck.

Just thinking completely at a tangent, but why Juanita?
Any Spanish or South American connections?
Or was it just after a silent movies film star?

Hi Patchem

Sorry for taking so long in reply - Christmas & all That -

As far as I know No spanish or South American connection - maybe they saw the name somewhere and liked it ?

Am looking at the Nellie Watts/Gill line in Devon/Cornwall will let you know if I come up with anything else -
Thanks - Jean

There is information pertaining to a--

Juanita Gill in the Australian Archives,
Section J-25.....1973/10526--Brisbane.
Not been Examined..?

What these refer to it doesnt say but nothing to indicate migration records from UK.

Edit,,,,,possibly a name search on friendsreunited could shed light on this person.

Thanks for all that inf. really appreciated

But am 100% sure no connection to India

And yes, I knew about the Lawrence/McAvoy/Terry connections
Just can't seem to find Marilyn and her family - a big mystery -maybe they changed their names ??

Have also contacted members with the above names on their trees but know one can anwer the question -

Thanks Kaye will look into the Brisbane Achives you mentioned -

Thanks Everyone - Jean

Depending on how much you want to find them

you could purchase the below...............this gets you to 1963 if Marilyn is the informant.
It will give her surname/address in 1963 as she could have remarried

Plenty of Gill names in NZ - we are a hop across the Tasman from Australia if that helps.
