I just wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction with this brickwall Ive tried to solve for over a year now.
My ggg grandad George Hillier lived in Honey stree Woodborough Wiltshire with his little boy William b.1838/9 & Thomas (my gggrandad) b.1841, Kezia his wife died a few weeks after giving birth to Thomas from TB and so on the 1841 census it shows George down as Geo living with William and Thomas is down a few doors away with a family called the Carpel family I presume with a nursing mother because he was only 10wks old and there was another child in their family of the same age.
In 1851 William and Thomas are in Devizes Union workhouse but no George, I cant seem to find whether he was just out when they did the census that day or whether he had died. There are so many George hilliers who died between 1841 & 1851 I just cant find him anywhere.
I dont know where he was born or his real age all I know is he is down as 45yrs in 1841census. Are there any lists of residents of this workhouse when they went there only I though if I could find out when the boys went in it may be a clue to when George died.
On Thomas's marriage cert it states George as deceased and that was in 1864.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
