Annie E Hill born 1867 Gloucestershire. She married Thomas Metcraft or Medcraft Sept 1891Cheltenham, she died 1924 in Newport.
Trying to find her on census prior to her marriage in 1891, believe her siblings could be William Hill born 1866 and Alice Hill born 1857?

Have you got her actual marriage certificate for Father's name?

And do you know where in Gloucestershire?

Thank-you

Hi Patchem, Thats the family got everything after marriage was hoping to find her and family in 1891 census and before?
As always I have no cert's, just a freebie search for a mate who wants a rough tree.
Thanks for everyone's help

Charlton Kings comes under Cheltenham district.

Do you know what the E stands for?

?
Births Jun 1867
Hill Annie Eliza Cheltenham 6a 400

It is going to be a very rough tree without certificates.

Awre is about 25 miles from Charlton Kings, so probably the wrong Annie.

Added:
She married as Annie in Cheltenham, and there is a possible in 1891 as Annie Hill, servant, Cheltenham.

Thanks for the info and I know what your thinking why bother with guess work and I agree but it's become a bit of a challenge to find what I can with limited info and without the cost of cert's...A rough tree is a gift to someone who can't even remember their grand parents names.
Am I turning into Miss Marple!!!
