Would someone be kind enough to look up the household of William (b 1865) & Jane (b 1869 née Silsby) Hillman in Sussex. There may be sons William Henry (b 1890), Ernest James (b 1891), James (b 1898), George (b 1900), Albert James (b 1902) & Leslie (b 1910) and daughters Elsie (b 1896), Grace (b 1903), Winifred (b 1904) & Dorothy (b 1910). Most of those dates are provisional and at least one is impossible. There may also be other siblings.

Addresses and reference numbers would be appreciated.

Thanks

Walter! Who the **** is Walter? It's bad enough that I've got Leslie and Dorothy in 1910 (different quarters) but where did Walter come from? And what's happened to the ones born between 1905 & 1910? I think this needs to go to General Discussion if not Brick Walls.

Thanks MG.

Ah, FreeBMD has:
Births Mar 1910 (>99%)
HILLMAN Walter Leslie Lewes 2b 1*

So that sorts that one out.

Which quarter is Dorothy? -- was she born late in the year and died?

Dunno, I can't find the info on her, and it may be that I'm getting her muddled up with Elsie. I'm going to have to go through all my notes to see where she came from.

Ill move it over to general.

Thanks Jo

I've checked my notes and the info on Dorothy came from my cousin-in-law. I've emailed her asking where she got the info from.

No response from my cousin so I'll have to put this on hold.
