Parents were Mary Jane Hill born Atcham 1849 father unknown.  Rowland married Elizabeth Hughes born Llangynon 1869 Marriage Llanfyllin 1893.  Children born 1894 Elizabeth Hannah Hill, born 1897 David James Hill; born 1900 Rowland Hill.  Rowland Hill (c1868) was not on 1901 census or 1911 census, he seems to have disappeared although they thought he might have gone abroad.  Family were living in 1901 at Bryn Hyfryd Llangynog.

I am trying to find out if Rowland Hill, born Minsterley, Shropshire 1868 emigrated to Africa, as he disappeared in 1900, leaving behind a wife and 3 children, I don't know where to look or even if it was Africa, it was a romour at the time that he went to mine for gold.  Anybody got any suggestions?

I have a death of a Timothy Jones, Llandovery 1852 December 11a 315.  I'm sure I found in 1861 census Eliza Jones working as a servant in Llanllwchaiarn, can't find my note though.

Jane married Thomas Willmore had 3 children, she died in 1844 lost family after 1851 (two children on cencus that year)
Mary eventually married John Lewis - but first had a son Frederick 1850 who went by the name of Woolley, he married Eliza and they had 14 children have a photo of All the children with the Fred and Eliza taken around 1900. This is my connection - have family descendants from this photo.

Do you think there is a connection?
