Elizabeth Gill - Portesham
« on: Wednesday 23 July 25 03:21 BST (UK) »
Greetings! I am looking for an Elizabeth Gill who was born around 1802. Two of her later census records show her being from Portesham and one says Huish. I can't find her in the Portesham records, and I don't see any records for a town names Huish. She married Thomas Churchill in 1826 in Winterborne Monkton. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to RootsChat.

Just a possibility - there is a Elizabeth GILL baptised 29 May 1803 at Litton Cheney, parents John and Anne. Litton Cheney is some 7 miles from Portsesham.  :-\

Also a Elizabeth GILL baptised 25 Jan 1801 at Upwey, parents Robert and Ann. Upwey is about 5 miles from Portesham.

I note on the marriage, Elizabeth GILL is of "Holy Trinity Dorcester" [sic]. Thomas CHURCHILL signs, but Elizabeth by "mark". Witnesses are William CHURCHILL (by mark) and William TRAVESS.

That seems a long way off.

OR ..?
Huish is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Wilcot, Huish and Oare, in Wiltshire, England, 2 miles (3.2 km) northwest of Pewsey and 4 miles (6.4 km) southwest of Marlborough.

The marriage banns has Elizabeth's Parish as Dorchester.

It certainly is.

Portisham, Dorset is 68 miles E of Huish, Devon.

It looks likely that Elizabeth's death was 1886 (age 85), registered Dorchester.

I do not see any baptisms for the children of  Thomas & Elizabeth but on census returns they had (1841) Ann 14, Mary 10, George 7 (1851) George 17.

Have you found their birth/baptism records and were there any others?

In 1881 Elizabeth is with Mary & her husband Henry Bugler in Dorchester.

Hello
Maybe this is a conincidence but there is a Hannah Gill who married Sydenham Churchill 14.11.1858 at Fordington.Her parents are Charles Gill born 1808 and Ann Bartlett.
She is with them at Abbotsbury on the 1871 census .Her father Charles is also the son of a John and Ann Gill.
Could there be a connection there or is it just a small world?
