Thread: George hillier - Devizes.......

Can anyone help please....been going round in circles for ages now and just getting nowhere. My ggg- grandad George Hillier was married to Keziah Chandler in Woodborough 1836 and they had 2 children - William b. 1838 & Thomas (my gg.grandad) b.1841. Keziah died 3wks after Thomas was born, and on the 1841 census it shows George(down as GEO HILLIER) living in Honey Street Pewsey (is that still Woodborough)??? with young William but a few doors away Thomas is in the Carpel household I presume with a nursing mother because the wife had a child of the same age 10wks.
In the 1851 census the 2 boys are in a workhouse union ( Devizes I think ) but no sign of George - does this mean he was just out when they did the census or had he already died?
On Thomas's marraige cert in 1864(Bristol) to Ellen Emma Howell/s....it states George Hillier was deceased. I am trying to find ....
1. When George Hillier was born and where. (so I can go back further on the Hillier line)
2. What year did they go in to the workhouse.
3. When did he pass away.
4. Will there be info on his marriage cert to Keziah where he came from or was that not recorded at that time with it being Parish records.
There are so many George Hillier's around that time I just don't know which one is the correct one.
Any help and advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

When George Hillier was born and where. (so I can go back further on the Hillier line)

He says he is born in the county, therefore Wiltshire. Have you checked the census for Wodboro' to see if there are othe HILLIER's recorded, if not you need to check villages close by genuki.co.uk

What year did they go in to the workhouse

The impossible, you will need to access the workhouse records and see what the entry is! Workhouse

When did he pass away.

The workhouse records may give you the answer
Consider this:
England Deaths and Burials, 1538-1991
name:George Hillier
gender:Male
burial date:31 Jan 1852
burial place:Lyneham, Wiltshire, England
indexing project (batch) number:I07721-1system origin:England-EASysource film number:1279412

Will there be info on his marriage cert to Keziah where he came from or was that not recorded at that time with it being Parish records.

The Parish Record ( marriage ) should indicate the Parish he belonged to and witnesses the rest is down to the Minister at the time of the event. Also look at the baptism of the children ( use familysearch as a guide, then visit the local centre, see toolbar....

Child in the CARPEL household, yes as a nurse child!
