    1. [WAR] HILL, Coventry
    2. I'm doing some of my research in reverse order (!) in that I've gone back to a relative and am now looking at descendants of his siblings. In a relative's travel journal of a trip from America to England in the 1920s, she mentions visiting Thomas HILL in Coventry, although I would not have thought to look for him there as he was born in Scotland. However, in 1901 he is age 34 and a Tailors Cutter living with his wife Jessie and two children - William age 2 and May age 1 month. Although no address was given for the visit in 1926 in the travel journal, there is mention of children: "young daughter Rose (Sissie)", "May with her beau", "Frank and William with their intended wives". At the moment I don't know how to bring this line forward from 1901 as the name is very common. I am therefore wondering if there are any descendants of Tom and Jessie on this list as I would love to make contact and share some of the information I have on the family. I am also intrigued that he lived in Coventry as I was born there, went to school there, and lived there until 1979, and yet the Hills are my husband's family from Scotland. Funny old world. Thank you Carol
