Hi all, am doing a tree for Charity. Am stuck on this one family, cannot find any of them in 1841 This is them in 1851:-

William Hill HD M 47 Farmer All born North Kilworth Leics
Matilda Wife 40
Thomas Son 11
Mary DA 14
Elizabeth DA 13
Wm Son 12

Then there are some younger children perhaps a 2nd Marriage?

George 4
Elizabeth 7
Sarah A 5
Frank 2
Fanny 2 months

Any help much appreciated thanks from Linell.

Hi Linell

The print on Ancestry is awful but I think I might have found them on one of the originals - still trying to find what the transcriber might have made of it 1841 Leicestershire North Kilworth District 22 page 15 HO 107/598/6

I found them on Ancestry by going for Jane Hill birth year about 1811 North Kilworth and then going 2 image pages forward.

I'll have another go at finding a transcription

As I said the print is awful but this is the transcription

1841 North Kilworth

John Hill 70
Willm Hill 30 Farmer
Matilda Hill 60
Thos Hill 5
Mary Hill 4
Eliza Hill 3
Wisse Hill 2

Thanks very much Maths Girl you did well finding that, brilliant. Is definitely them, although Matilda should be more like 30 and Wisse must be William. Bit worried about John aged 70 as I had Wm Snr's father as Thomas! Help, perhaps he was an Uncle?? Who knows, many thanks from Linell.

Well I thought the 70 year old read as Ann (didn't notice which sex she was supposed to be) so John and Thom are not that dissimilar given how bad the original is!

Glad to help

Its on Origins, found under Matilda, terrible to view on there too
Looks like,
Back Street, North Kilworth
John Hill, Ind,70
William Hill, farmer, 30
Matilda, 30
John (or Thomas?) 5
Mary, 4
Eliza,3
/William (?) 2
//Elizabeth Burns(?) 20

there is this extracted


WILLIAM HILL
Christening: 11 SEP 1803 North Kilworth, Leicester,

Father: THOMAS HILL
Mother: MARY

thomas and mary his two oldest boy and girl ?

could that john 70 be john 40 ?


as poss siblings

JOHN HILL
Christening: 03 AUG 1800 North Kilworth, Leicester,

ANN HILL
Christening: 07 JAN 1798 North Kilworth, Leicester,

I thought the John said 70 But


If these are siblings which looks likely then John would be eldest and could be named after father John (70) -
JOHN HILL
Christening: 03 AUG 1800 North Kilworth, Leicester,

ANN HILL
Christening: 07 JAN 1798 North Kilworth, Leicester,

John(70) would also fit with father being Ind while son was still working as farmer - more likely than older brother ind and younger farmer - brothers would be more likely to share the title of farmer or it would be the older one with the younger delegated to manager/assistant?

but parents are thomas and mary, if it is john 70 then might be uncle brother to thomas, john poss named after him ?

yep sorry missed that

Thanks everyone for looking. I found someone on Ancestry has parents of Wm Snr as Thomas and Mary, and as Peter said his two eldest children are Thomas and Mary so I think that is correct. The John aged 70 could be Thos hard to tell, he is either Wm's father or Uncle. Many thanks for everyone's input from Linell.
