[CarlBuck]

I'm trying to find Information about William Henry Hill (my 1x Great uncle) He was born in Pendlebury Lancashire in abt 1875, Son Of James and Elizabeth Ann Hill. William Henry Married Janet/Jeanette Meadows in 1906 Lancashire, I can't find him in the 1901 Census but I've found him in the 1911 Census living with his Wife his two children and his Brother George, I may have hit a brick wall with William.. Please Help.

No I've not got his marriage certificate Yet, that's the Family in 1891, His Mother Died in 1896 in the Rotherham District, the children are separated in 1901 some in Yorkshire and some in Lancashire (William Henry) is Missing.. I Can't find him in 1901 for some reason.

I wonder if this is him, as he cannot be found in census 1901. Worth pursuing to rule in or out.

UK Royal Hospital Chelsea Pensioner Soldier Service Records 1760 - 1920

William Henry Hill
Enlistment Age:   21
Birth Date:   abt 1875
Birth Place:   Pindeebury Lancashire (as transcribed, could read as Pendlebury?)
Enlistment Year:   1896
Regiment:   Royal Artillery
Regimental Number:   17438
Attestation Paper:   Yes

If he was in the army he would not be on census.

Original image on Fold3 (pay to access, or ask on military board for help) Should give his signature, (compare with 1911 census) name of next of kin etc on attestation paper.

His n.o.k. was listed as father: James Hill, address not known

There is an address on one of the pages , no date given but may have been on discharge. Very faint but seems to say 26 Selwyn St, Leigh
