[*Sandra*]

Probably more to find if you have not got all the family info

Easy to see the confusion here, some records say Gill, others say Gills, the headstone for Joseph & Jane ( Both died in 1911 ) in Old Edgewell Cemetery, Prudhoe is engraved Gill.

I have Joseph marrying Jane Scott in 1865.

I don't think the Robinson family living in  Jesmond is ours.

The info re Hannah - John Robinson looks correct, Elizabeth - John Hawkins also looks spot on.

Matthew married Jane Hall 1897, can't find any marriage for William. I think Mary Ann married in 1892.

Thank You for all the assistance, I'll keep looking !!!. to Jacob Maughan but this one is a bit tenuous, Jane married 1905 lexander Keenleyside, Thomas married Mary E Shield

There was this written where they wrote about William

GILL, William (Service number 49975)

Biographical Notes
William Gill stated that he had been in New Zealand for five years when he enlisted on 31 January 1917 at Timaru. He had been called up in 1916. William was residing at "Ettrick Bank", High Street, Timaru, and was employed as a clerk for Priest & Holgate. He was the son of Joseph and Jane Gill, both deceased. It appears that he may have been the William Gill (or Gills) born in 1876 at Prudhoe, Northumberland. This William was at home with his family at Prudhoe, in 1911 there being only William, a clerk, and his widowed father. His mother probably died in early 1911, aged 71 years; and his father Joseph, a coal miner, on 1 October 1911 at West Wylam, aged 72 years

The info re William seems to  tie in nicely, Thomas was his younger Brother, he was in Prudhoe pretty much all his life. Great find !!!.

Re : William Gill b 1876  Just when you think you have cracked it ! I have found in 1939 Roll :

William Gill b 1876 living at 29 Stanhope Street, Greenside Co. Durham with Widowed Sister Elizabeth Hawkins ( Nee Gill ). Need more info on this one, did he return from New Zealand, did he ever go ? It's quite a puzzle.

Corrrect, that is the Gill/ Gills I am looking at, it all checks out, the mystery is, where was William  betwen 1911 and 1939, did he go to New Zealand and, if so, did he return, puzzling, frustrating but that's genealogy for you !.

[softly softly]

That’s the problem with having 2 posts, William was in uk 1931

where was William  betwen 1911 and 1939, did he go to New Zealand

There's a W Gill arriving in New Zealand in November 1911 on the SS Ramuera from London.
