ILLMAN FAMILY OF WORTH SUSSEX

[OneBigFamily]

Hi Kerry,

Welcome to Rootschat.    I had a look for an Edith Garford marriage to William Illman and this is it;

Marriages; Edith Honour Garford to William Illman.  Year 1910, quarter Jan-Feb-March, district Croydon [county of Surrey], volume 2a, page 569 for Edith and page 569 for William.  (William has been misindexed on Ancestry as being on page 568 but on the original it says page 569). 

If you do get the marriage certificate where you will be able to find out the names of their fathers then let us know how you get on.

And, I saw the photograph on this thread of William Illman and I showed it to my mum and the signiture amazed her as she has the exact same handwriting. She writes Illman the exact same way and we told my Nan and she says she reckons it's my great, great, grandfather. He and Edith went on to have Elizabeth, who had my Grandfather Gordon Illman, and so on.

As far as I know William was always known as "William Walter Illman" I think Walter was his middle name. This is amazing!

Hi,

I'm pleased William is getting noticed,
I did'nt like the thought of him not being wanted

Hi Lizzie.
My Illman family moved from Surrey to Medway Towns Kent sometime after 1820 and before 1835.
My Grandmother was an Illman too!
If you PM me with your email address I can send you my Illman family tree.

HI,

I have some Illman's in my tree from West Grinstead, Sussex including:
Ann (1760-1781)
Elizabeth (c1758 - )
James (c1764 - c1835)
Jane (C1735 - )
John (c 1760 - )Sarah (c1762 - 1844)
Thomas (c1710 - )
Thomas (c1698 - )
Timothy (c1733 - )
William (c1727 - )

Any of these ring any bells?

I note that you are still active on this chatter, but I am harking back to 2005!
My direct line is stymied at Thomas Illman, born ca. 1698 in West Grinstead.
I have downloaded all the Illmans in WG I can, but still cannot get any further back.
Next I suppose I need to start checking nearby villages to see if he moved in from the surrounding area. There is a Thomas Illman of Steyning which is very close who married an Elizabeth of WG at around this time, but have not been able to get back to any search locations to try again - I live in Muscat, Oman so am a little constrained in this respect.
There is a Walter Illman and family in WG records going back into the 1600s but have not been able to detect any links yet.
Any suggestions or observations would be very welcome.
Best wishes - Chris Hillman
