Thomas GILL, Pateley Bridge, bpt 1768

[sue23]

Hi,
I am researching the family of Thomas GILL b. c1767 and bpt. 22 Jan 1768 at Pateley Bridge (Wesleyan Methodist). Source: IGI Batch C009704

I would like to confirm his parents as Thomas GILL (c1742) and Ann HARDGREAVE (c1746), but am having a hard time finding the correct resources. Is anyone able to provide some assistance/ advise please?

Thomas and Ann were married Nov 1767 in Pateley Bridge.

With thanks,
Sue

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the 'tip-off's'! I haven't looked at the Hampsthwaite site yet .... BUT the Wharfegen site is simply awesome!! 
I didn't find what I was looking for, but came up with some unexpected sources for other families in my mother's maternal line.

Thank you very much!
Kind regards, Sue.

Hi Sue,

I have sent an email to the Wharfegen site recently, and the guy there is fantastic.
He has access to the parish records so don't be frightened to ask him if he has any information on your family.

He has been an amazing help to me. And is still working with me on a number of family lines. 

I have Gill in my line but they seem to be from Giggleswick, in a nearby parish. Funny thing is - I also have Howarth, but they were from Skipton, Yks.  And also have Holland - but that is only an Australian link, Melbourne and Moama.  Does Holland's Hairdressing in Melbourne mean anything to you?

Good luck.

Hi Margaret,
I'm not surprised to hear that the Wharfegen people are very helpful. You can tell there is a lot of pride gone into that website, I'm loving it! So often you see great websites .. but very rarely one that has direct input into your own family tree (Can you tell I'm chuffed?!  )
We're new to rural Victoria, so not overly familar with Melbourne - nor Holland's Hairdressing (Couldn't find it in the yellow pages). There is a suburb called Holland Park - coincidently!

Cheers,
Sue.

sorry Sue,

should have said Hollands hairdressing was back in the late 1800's to early 1900's.
They link to my line through the name Boyes.  One sister married Holland the other a second wife to Thomas Wild.

Don't know where they originally came from though.

I live in the suburbs of Melbourne.

Good luck with your search.
Margaret

hi Sue,
I am got intrested in your Thomas Gill, search perhaps seeing that you have gone so far back you can give me some advice or the E-mail address of that useful site,. I could not find anymore information on my Robert Gill born abt 1810 Skelton Yorkshire, his family is Ann Gill 25 wife,
Children Emma 2 years and Ann 8 months all from 1841 cen Robert was a Joiner and address of Bilton street , saint Cuthbert York- h0107/1353/6 folio 6 page 5.
any help would be most useful this family goes into my family tree of Taylors
from Dan tay.

Hi Daniel,
I must admit I got half way through a  'Wouldn't you know it' ... until I realised it actually wasn't the same Robert GILL!
One of Thomas' son's was a Robert born 1811 in Pateley Bridge.
I haven't used the email address from this site yet ... and truthfully haven't looked yet. You could try them, or the Wharfedale FHS
http://www.wfhg.org.uk/

Another source with GILL references is http://www.sowerby-bridge.org.uk/greenhow/family/family.html. This specifically for families from the Greenhow Hill/ Pateley Bridge area.

Apart from that it's taken 10 years of scouring! I guess the sites I keep going back to are Ancestry.com, Rootsweb, Rootschat (of course!) and the IGI. I have only just joined Genes Reunited (as a means to share the family tree with my UK family) ... Probably haven't used it to it's full advantage though. There are a number of GILL researchers there, and we appear to all share the common ancestor of Thomas GILL and Sarah NEWBOLD.
I'd just like to verify Thomas' parentage, but coming up trumps!

Keep in touch won't you? We might end up on the same path - Who knows 

Cheers for now,
Sue

Hi all,
I am trying to find the parents to my Robert Gill born 1810 Skelton Yorkshire now on igi I found a Robert Gill christening 27 June 1811 Pateley bridge yorkshire, but was told these was not my Robert Gill, but also looking at the Igi records it also has him robert Gill born same date as the christening 27 June 1811. Now I have looked from more robert gills around this time on igi listings and can not find any.
Can any one help and are you sure that this is not my robert gill because I can find the rest of his family from Saint cuthbert and Saint Olave yorkshire.
Many thanks from
dan Tay.
