George was probably a brother of my 2x great-grandmother Mary HUGILL, who had married John PEACOCK in the same church in 1836. George HUGILL, a joiner of Stockton-on-Tees, was the executor for John's will, but unfortunately that document doesn't specify their relationship.
In census returns, the birthplace of Mary PEACOCK nee HUGILL (born c.1813) and George HUGILL (c.1816-1817) is shown as Hull, Yorkshire.
Today I ordered the certificate for George and Jane's marriage in 1844. I want to know whether George gave the same details then as he did when he married again (as a widower) in 1858, to Helen WRIGHT. According to the 1858 certificate, George was a son of Joseph HUGILL, a joiner.
George HUGILL and Jane BLACKBURN had three children:
* John George HUGILL died from burns at the age of 9 (see Carlisle Patriot, 14 Jan 1854).
* Frederick HUGILL (1846-1926) was a watchmaker and jeweller. He and his wife Elizabeth ROBINSON moved to Bangor in North Wales, but their five children were born in the Stockton area - Jane (she married George William EWART), George Frederick, Helen, Elizabeth and Florence.
* William HUGILL, born 1849. I have not yet researched him.

This is my Week 5 post for 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks. Amy Johnson Crow has challenged us to do something with the family history information that we've gathered. Even if I don't always stick to the suggested themes, I'll try to post something here each week.

So how'd you go with your certificate Judy? Was it the same info? Is he the brother of Mary Hugill?
ReplyDeleteThe certificate for George's first marriage has finally arrived, and it also says that his father was Joseph HUGILL, a joiner. I will keep searching for something that reveals either the relationship between Mary and George, or the names of Mary's parents. So far all of my lateral thinking has not helped.
