  Notes	The identity of Thomas's wife Mary is unclear. I thought she might be one of the Marys (Feraday and Weal) that married in Q4 1842 but I now think this is unlikely because the mother's maiden name of all the children except the first and last is shown on the expanded BMD index as HAVARD or variations of it. Strangely, William Turner Hill's mother's maiden name is shown as TURNER. I've been unable to find the birth registration for William Hill who appeared in the 1871 census (but not the 1881 census). For the time being, I'm showing Thomas's wife's surname as HAVARD. 1851 census: in Cwm Jenkin, Llanwenarth, Monmouthshire, (all HILL), Thomas (head, 37, nailor, born Mitcheldean, Gloucestershire), Mary (27, born Abergavenny, Monmouthshire), William (5, born Stow water, Gloucestershire), Thomas (3, born Rhyming(?), Monmouthshire) and James (2, born Llanwenarth, Monmouthshire). 1861 census: in Ash Bank, Butchers Lane, Cradley, Staffordshire, Mary A (head [where was Thomas?], 37, horse nail makers wife, born Abergavenny, Monmouthshire), William (16, forgeman, born Stroud water, Gloucestershire), Thomas (12, forgeman, born Romee(Rhymney), Breckonshire), James (10, born Guvisland, Monmouthshire), John (8, born Guvisland, Monmouthshire), Mary A (6, born Guvisland, Monmouthshire), Sidney (4, born Cradley, Staffordshire) and Hannah (4 days, birthplace not stated, see below - Cradley). 1871 census: at 14 & 15 Bridge Street, Merthy Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales, Thomas (60, nailer, born Little Dean, Gloucester), Mary (52, housekeeper, born Abergavenny, Mon.), James (22, puddler, born Coviland, Mon.), John (19, puddler, born Coviland, Mon.), Mary Ann (16, at home, born Coviland, Mon.), Sidney (14, seizing in iron works, born Cradley, Staffordshire), Hannah (9, scholar, born Cradley, Staffordshire) and William (1, born Merthyr, Glamorgan). Son Thomas and his family lived in the same house. Note: references above to Guvisland and Coviland above and Queenland below are assumed to be to Govilon, a couple of miles west of Abergavenny. 1881 census: at 28 Browns Row, Stockton on Tees, Thomas HILL (head, 70, nailer, born Forest of Dean), Mary HILL (wife, 56, born Abergevenny, Wales), Thomas HILL (son, widower, 34, puddler, born Ruminey(Rhymney)), John HILL (son, 28 unmarried, puddler, born Queenland(?), Mary Ann HILL (daughter, 23, born Queenland(?)), Sidney (son, 21, blacksmith, born Staffordshire), John (grandson [Thomas junr's son], 10, scholar, born Merthyr Tydfil) and (in a separate abode at the same address) Caroline THOMAS (head, 20, married, out of employment, born Merthyr Tydfil) and Rees THOMAS (her son, 11 weeks, born Stockton on Tees, Durham).
