Hill correction
- Bosham
We have discovered that it was Capt. Hill's son, Robert Charles Hill (same name as himself) who was in Bosham. He must have been quite young. Can anyone say what The Skep, Sunnyway was? This was probably in the 1920s or 30s. Thank you. Ivy

Another Clue
- Bosham
Continuing the Hill saga, Capt. Hill's wife died in 1920 aged 40, Isabella Dawson Hill. I now see that there was a Dawson family, George, 29, a house painter, B aged 30 and child GE aged 4 living in New Cottages in the 1901 census time. It is possible, but not certain, that the young Robert Charles Hill was sent to them. He also had a sister, Vivienne, but we don't know if she was with him. Please help if you can! Thank you.

They had two sons, Henry (b. 1812) and Tilden (b. 1814) before George died in Nov 1821 in Brede Sussex England. Mary had John Joseph (or Reeves?)Miller (b. 26 Jan 1826 Brede Sussex England) after George's death.

I'm wondering if you know of these families or you can
help me with any further research ideas.
Thanks in advance,
