Good day , i am looking for any records re, Joseph Hill born around 1811 and his wife Anne whom i do not know her maiden name , she latter died sometime after the 1841 census, they lived at Pithouse Farm and later he moved to Timber Hill Farm where he stayed for many years.

Research suggests that this family was from Dymock and here are Census details:

98 Ann Gurney Servant 14 1857 Female Kempley Gloucestershire England
98 Joseph Cox Servant 15 1856 Male Weston Herefordshire England

Joseph was widowed in 1851 so Ann would have died sometime between 1841 and 1851. A search of the Parish Records gives us this entry:
Year: 1842
Month: Jan
Day: 27
Surname: HILL

The Census tells us that the first child was born c1834 so the marriage is most likely to have taken place shortly before. Again a search of the records produces this entry:
Year: 1833
Month: Jan
Day: 22

This tells us that the marriage was by Licence so we search the Marriage Allegations and Bonds and this tells us that Joseph was a Farmer.

I have not been able to find Joseph Hill in the Census after 1871 so assume that he died shortly afterwards. This is a possible:

Deaths Jun 1874
HILL Joseph 67 Newent 6a 167

Burial:

Surname: HILL

This suggest that he was laid to rest with his wife but a search of the MI's on this site is negative. However a search of the Wills Index confirms his death in 1874:

The Census tells us that Joseph was born in Bromsberrow c1807. This could be his Baptism:

Hi Wazza & Shepway

I was just browsing through the forum and not found anything of note so just clicked on the Marriage & Death entry. I don't usually look at such entries that contain no detail, without a name - but I was bored !!

Thanks Shepway for the in depth research of Joseph Hill, who I found in my family tree. My main interest is the Marfell family but always record the siblings and parents of spouses, so will share the link in case it is of use.

As shown on the census data Joseph Hill had a daughter Elizabeth Amy Hill 1835 who married Charles Henry Price 1841 at Dymock 28 Apr 1868. They had 2 children Harry 1869 and Frederick Charles Price 1873. Frederick married Sarah Ann Marfell 1875/1928 at Weston Under Penyard 11 Oct 1904. They had 4 children incl Theodora Margaret 3 Nov 1908/4 Mar 1976 NZ. She married Frank Jones born abt 1908 on 3 Mar 1945 Warri, Nigeria and emigrated to New Zealand in 1959 following Frank's death. The children of this marriage are still living, so no published detail, but one of them became a Professor and I exchanged emails with him a few years ago.

Hi Jim, good to see you. Ref your post and not seeing anything relevant to your researches, I wonder did you see this fairly recent thread entitled "1876 - late registration of illegitimate birth (RHODES)".
http://www.forest-of-dean.net/fodmembers/index.php?mode=thread&id=46925

On my first post in this thread I refer to your input on an old thread entitled "Elijah & Jane Herbert - 1851 Census", which seems to link into the recent Rhodes thread, I wonder can you perhaps add anything to this thread, please ?
Thanks, Jeff.

Hi Jeff

Nothing to add to the thread you mentioned I'm afraid.

Jim Ashton

Hi Jim, thanks for posting and for reviewing the thread, much appreciated.
Have a Happy Easter, Jeff.

(And the same Easter wishes to all other forum users and helpers of course, hope you are all well and enjoy a good weekend despite the orrible weather.)
