Help with occupation of Exciseman
Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2021 3:47 pm
Hello there
I have a baptism transcript for Thomas Dix from Bucks FHS which states " 13.11.1859 Thomas born 6 Dec 1858, Illegitimate son of Richard Hill & Elizabeth Dix of Olney, Exciseman ". The birth cert for Thomas does not state any father's name. I would like to try and trace Richard Hill if possible and wonder if there any ways to look up Excisemen. I always associate Excisemen with the coast but I expect that's not the case. Elizabeth Dix actually went on to marry someone else. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks in advance
