    3. Does anybody know this HILL family???? JAMES HILL born abt 1827 POLLOKSHAWS RENFREWSHIRE married ELIZABETH GILCHRIST 8 February 1853 , Church of England, Castletown, Isle of Man, England. Occupation: Blacksmith / Engineer. Enlisted 23rd Regiment of Foot (Royal Welch Fusileers) in 18499. He served at the Battles of Alma and Inkerman in the Crimean War in 1854. James received an injury at Alma and was discharged in 1855. Known children (unconfirmed) are: James Hill 1853, Margaret Alma Hill 1856, Andrew Gilchrist Hill 1857, Elizabeth Margaret Hill 1859 all born in Scotland , think Midlothian, Archibald Hill 1861 NSW, William Hill 1861 NSW, ARCHIBALD ALMA HILL b. 18 April 1862, West Maitland NEW SOUTH WALES, Australia, William E Hill 1866 NSW. I believe that JAMES HILL and Elizabeth Gilchrist arrived into New South Wales around 1860. In 1888, ARCHIBALD ALMA HILL married Fanny FURSEY at Newcastle, NSW. Fanny was the daughter of Samuel and Fanny Fursey born 1864, Appledore North Devon England. They divorced in 1894. WINIFRED ALMA HILL was born of this marriage - 13 Dec 1889. Archibald A Hill married EDITH M JOHNSON in 1902 NSW and a son FRANK was born in 1903. Hope somebody can help me tracing any decendants of Archibald A Hill or the father and mother of JAMES HILL born about 1827. Cindy Binks
