Hiller / Goodman (Mar 08 Red)
I have found that Maurice Hiller of Oare, Wiltshire owned land in Warwickshire (including my house) up to c.1800, then his nephew John Goodman. Does anybody know how Maurice Hiller might have inherited his land or who John Goodman might have left it to sometime after 1830?
