I have confirmation on Elsie May Whitehouse and William Hill, parents John Whitehouse and Rachael from Jim Baker's son my cousin. Doesn't know about William Hill's parentage.

Is this completed flagging to archive

I wonder whether the marriage St Peter 1915 should read William fitter not John and John turner! then it would fit.

They didn`t put the dad as died on marriage occasionally it happens

Too many John Hills and William Hills. Will keep working on it.

Is this still a Brickwall, or have you solved it?
