Hills, Weatherly and Pringle - Berwickshire

[Linda Australia]

"The Hills are alive...................", well not the ones I am searching for, but maybe I have a whole lot of Hills relatives out there.

My great granny was Elizabeth Hills.  She was born in Duns in 1864.  She had an illegitimate daughter Mary in 1885 and then married my great grandfather John Buchan Wilson in 1893 in Gourlay's Wynd (don't you just love the names?).

They had a number of kiddies including: Jessie Hills Buchan Wilson, John Hills Buchan Wilson; Thomas Hills Proctor Buchan Wilson; James Hills Buchan Wilson; Peter Hills Buchan Wilson (my grandfather) was born in Oldhamstocks (I just have to go there, what a great name); Frances Hills Buchan Wilson.  There was also a Leslie, but I think he must have belonged to another member of the family and was just brought up in the household.

Elizabeth's father was Peter Hills, and her mother was Jessie Weatherly.  His parents were listed on the marriage certificate as Thomas Hills and Jane O'Dodd.  However, I do not believe this is correct, as the death certificate of both he and his brother lists thier mother as being Jane Pringle.

I can find no record of Peter Hills birth, or any other siblings.  I also have no information on Thomas Hills or Jane Pringle.

Anyone out there searching for the same branch?

If you post some date info on your PRINGLEnames.
I will look in the Duns Cemetry Inscriptions  that I have .

The LDS website has a marriage record for Thomas Hill and Jean Dods, married 27 May 1808 in Coldingham, Berwick.

There was a Patrick Hill married to a Jane Pringle, but that was around 1720 in Duns, Berwick. Could the Jane Pringle be the mistake? Or maybe the father remarried?
