wiliam b hill
« on: Thursday 21 November 19 15:34 GMT (UK) »
Hi folks Im trying to find the birth record of William B Hill born Abergavenny 9th March 1883. I have that specific information from his grandson so I believe it is correct. I am a member of Ancestry and have searched on therebut cant find his birth record, Ive also looked on Findmypast and the family forum. Im not sure what the B stands for, Ive found records for a William Bolwell but thats not him. Could be Benjamin as one of his sons is a Ben.  I have his marriage to Emily in 1921 but its possible this was his second wife. Can anyone of you wonderful people help at all please

What was his marital status on the 1921 marriage cert?

Have you found him on the 1891 -1911 censuses to determine who his parents were?

Where and when did he die as there are only 2 William B Hill deaths with a birthyear 1882-1884 and neither was in Wales

Who did he marry & when & where?

Hi CaroleW  Sorry I dont have any certificates I think the birthdate came from my cousins late mums diary. Most of the info I have is from the census. Just a bit odd that there doesnt appear to be a record.

So that death does not support an 1883 birthyear but the 1939 entry does

I don't think he was actually born in Wales but you need the marriage cert to confirm his fathers name

Births June qtr 1883 William Benjamin Hill Birmingham 6d 68 - mmn Millward

Possible parents Edwin Hill & Rosabella Millward
However - there is a 1960 death in Warwickshire which may be the above William
