Thank you very much for all that. That is all very amazing stuff!
You both have helped tremendously.
Is there any way of linking my grandmother Olive May Hill born in 1903-1904
to Edward and Mary Ann?

[Ecneps]

Hi Scott,

As she was born after the 1901 census, you would need to get her birth certificate which would show her parents.
If you look on www.middlesbrough-indexes.co.uk you can order it through the local register office by clicking on the reference number next to the name
I found a Mary O Hill b 1903 Hartlepool, and two Olive M Hills born 1899 and 1906 Stockton.. you could check with the register office if you have the right one before you buy it by asking them to check the parents first

Would you like earlier census for Edward Wilson Hill & his parents?

Hello Barbara
Thanks for all your help. I have been able to relay all your finds back to my aunt, Olive's daughter. She can
dimly remember some of the details and even has a photo of the Gell's house in Holme. I would love to have
any further info on the Hills, in particular Emily Jane Wise. No one knew of a Kent connection.
Thanks once again.
Scott
