Title: Henry HILL born approx 1818
Post by: Dorothy Hill on Thursday 28 January 10 15:15 GMT (UK)

HELP.  Henry Hill married Elizabeth Taylor 25 July 1840 in Parish Church, Dunster, Somerset.  Henry was a gamekeeper.  They had George b November 1840; Alexander b 1844 and Mary Ann b 1846, all in Dunster.  On the 1841 census Henry is listed as "not born in Somerset".   On his marriage cert. his father is named as Henry Hill, servant.  Have never been able to find Henry senior.       There is a Henry Hill, of Keeper's Lodge, Nettlecombe, Somerset, who was accidentally shot and died September 1835 who might fit the bill, but can find no proof.  Would appreciate any help/ideas.                    Dorothy

Thanks for that.   Yes, we are caught between two census reports.  Dorothy
