Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Mary Gill was born on 31 Jan 1837 in Newburgh (daughter of Thomas Gill and Elizabeth Downs); died about Nov 1861 in Lathom.

    Other Events:

    • Baptism: 19 Feb 1837, Douglas Chapel, Eccleston (Parbold)

    Notes:

    Father's occupation recorded as 'boilermaker' in marriage record - one theory is that 'boatman' was initially abbreviated to BM, which was then misinterpreted.
    A son Henry Robinson, age 8, is listed with this family in the 1861 census, who could be Mary's child before marriage, though she would have been only 15-16. No birth or baptism record found under either surname, though there is a Henry Gill, boatman of the right age, born Newburgh, in the 1871-1891 censuses.

    Mary married James Robinson on 5 Jul 1854 in St Nicholas, Liverpool. James (son of William Robinson and Mary Crompton, son of Thomas Robinson and Catherine Thompson) was born in 1831 in Lathom. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
