william hill & Family
Hiya
Just joined the forum, was so pleased to find it as am really stuck! It would be great if anyone could shed any light on what might have gone on . . .
My Great great grandad was born in Buckinghamshire 1935 and is William Hill. I have him going backward from 1901 to 1891 and he has his wife and family with him. He and his family then drop off the map!
In 1891 he appears (as a police sargeant) age 46 with his wife annie (37) she was born in Litchfield. They also have 3 kids then, they have william who is just 4, Louisa who is 12 and Mary who is 11. All born around the staffordshire area. I expected to find them in 1791 with the two young girls at ages 2 and 1 but cant find any of them! have looked for them separately and together. Have considered if maybe these two girls were from a previous marriage?
I think he was in the armed forces which might explain his dissapearance for a couple of census's but where is he as a lad? can find no trace of him being born in "granborough" Bucks. Unsure of his wifes maiden name so will have to dig out and purchase a copy of the marriage cert but anyone got any advice or can think of anything that i could have missed?
Thank you in advance

Hiya - yes i thought that would be her - well i've ordered the cert (not from ancestry.co.uk though - arent they expensive!) ordered direct from gro.gov.uk) so we'll see what it says about father and mother - thanks for all your help :-)
