Got a feeling Joseph Hill will be named as father of John on this marriage, might be a clue in the father's occupation. Possibility there is another John hill From Quarry Bank may be illig. with mother ? Hill. As usual more research needed. Would like to separate out the various Hill families. A lot seem to be in Quarry Bank/Lye/Kingswinford. and another cluster in Netherton, they seem to be moving between the two places. May be Tertius has been wrongly transcribed a Perkins ? long shot.
