Hi all,
I need help with a brick wall that's been bugging me for ages. Edward Hill married Eleanor Penry (widower) at St Mary, Bromley St Leonards in 1801. Both are listed OTP. I can't find a record for Eleanor's first marriage. When I look at Bromley St Leonards baptisms for Eleanors there's an Eleanor Cullimore in 1767, and Eleanor Briggs in 1780, which both could be possibilities. I couldn't find any Penrys born to an Eleanor between 1791-1801 so I don't think she had any children in her first marriage.
Edward is listed in the 1841 census as living with his son Thomas Hill on Balaam Street, Plaistow working as an ag lab. His age in this census is given as 64 and him as being born out of county.
Any help finding anything more on either of these would be really appreciated as I've been banging my head against it for ages. Eleanor and Edward's children were: Lydia, Charles, James, Mary, Maria, Thomas.
Best wishes
Samuel
