Background you already have helps Forum Members.

? Henry HILLMAN at Bishopswood - 1845

William HILLMAN occupation was a Tin Scaler etc

There is at English Bicknor - on the 1841 Census, James HILLMAN - c1791 - a Tin Washer

So possibly his brother

Thank you for your reply. Yes he is the William Hillman who married Mary Cutter or Colley. I have the details of their family. Thank you for the information about a baptism of William Hillman, English Bicknor 1 April 1805, I did not have that. Also wonder if the Lydney Hillmans came into the picture? Who knows.
Thanks again
