anyone researching Hilliar Family

[marineliferescue]

Hi Is there anyone out there researching the Hilliar family? I have found my friend's gt grandmother ELEANOR ANN HILLIAR, she was born 1854 in Newington, Surrey. No father named. I can trace neither her or her mother on 1861 and 1871 census, the first time I find her is her marriage to George Conington in 1873. Any help would be great.

You have a name for her mother? Her mother may have married and Eleanor took on her step father's name.

Looks like Eleanor and George moved to Lincolnshire where Eleanor died in 1896. Have you got her marriage cert. to see if there are any clue's?

Thank you so much for the info. There is no father named on marriage and can't find any record of her on census prior to her marriage. Thank you again

 

[gibbo]

Do you have her birth certificate? If so what is her mother's name?

 

[solidrock2]

No mmn on birth record so probably illegitimate.

If we had the birth mother's full name we could check for marriages and census and might have more luck finding them in 1861 and 1871. If Eleanor's mother married Eleanor could be under her step father's name on the census.

 

[solidrock2]

I checked all the Hilliar's living in that area and marriages but drew a blank. Also checked deaths incase mother died at childbirth. Can't find Eleanor and George on 1881.

Again thank you all for your help. Will send for the birth certificate. Take care you all

I think marriage cert would be more useful.

I think marriage cert would be more useful.

Hi. No father named on the marriage cert. Take care

Hi to everyone who has been trying to help me find info about
Eleanor Ann Hilliar. I now have her birth cert and she was born 13/6/1854 St Mary Newington, Surrey. No father on the birth cert but names her mother as Mary Ann Hilliar. I have found a Mary A Hilliar b 1834 Surrey , father Henry, mother, Sarah on 1841 and 1851 census, she possibly married Henry White in 1854. I can still find no records at all of Eleanor A Hilliar, prior to her marriage to George Connington. Where do I go next??
