Hi,
Please may I ask if anyone would search for a birth certificate, I am having no luck at all.
William Hill,
Born 1893/4 Stourbridge, Worcestershire.
Father: Thomas Hill
Mother: Mary A.Hill
Registration District.  Halesowen.
The only trace I have of him is on the 1901 Census.
Thank you for looking.
Shirlann.

Hi shirlann,

A quick look at http://freebmd.rootsweb.com gives 6 possibles:

William Henry  Hill        Mar 1893

William Benjamin Hill  )
William Henry      Hill  )   June 1893
William  John       Hill  )

William   Hill                   Dec 1893

William  Vernon E. Hill     Mar 1894         All registered Stourbridge

Not an easy task!

Hope these help,

Hi Shirlann,

This may sound an odd question, but do you really need his birth certificate?  I see he has siblings, it may be easier to try and find one of their birth certificates, it will still lead you to the same parents.  Just had a quick look and a likely marriage (presuming it was Stourbridge) would be Thomas Hill marrying Mary Ann Cartwright 1881 

Shirlann,

Just noticed on the 1901 their eldest daughter is 20, just say the word and we can check out the 1891 and 1881 census records if you wish

As treelover said it's easier to find siblings certs

The odd thing about that 20yr old you spotted (Nellie), it says Dau in Law, Single, domestic servant, now staying at home    the the next child, son William is 7, but then daughter Minnie after William is 10!  Hmmm

AAAhhh, it's relation to head isn't it?

Thomas is 35, Mary A is 42, he won't be Nellie's dad, she'll be step daughter, often termed daughter in law 

So if that marriage posted by treelover is correct, this could be Nellie

Nellie Cartwright
June Q 1880
Stourbridge

Hi Madpants,

Nice bit of detecting work there 

I'll watch this space and see what Shirlann thinks.

Hi Tree Lover and Mad pants,
Thank you for that information.
As you can see from my messages I have
posted I'm new to all of this.
I had not even put 2 an 2 together to realize the age difference that you pointed out!.
Thank you both again.
Regards,
Shirlann.
