I am trying to locate ancestors of Robert E Sill. He married Iris Bullock in the Dec qtr 1949 in Birmingham and died 27th July 1997. He was a Police Constable and I have the 1911 census of what is possibly his father, another Robert Sill, also a Ploiceman b1883 in Westmorland, living in Cartwright Place, Inkerman St, Vauxhall, Birmingham.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
David

Robert E Sill b. March quarter 1913, mother's maiden name Wood, Aston 6d 1177.
Parents - Robert Sill m. Agnes Elizabeth Wood Sept quarter 1908, Aston 6d 360.
This Robert was b. June quarter 1882, E. Ward (which covers Dufton), 10b 675.
1901 Robert was 'Horse man on farm' at Westernhope Burn, Co. Durham (RG13; 4659; 8; 8).
1891 Robert was at home with mother Ann and five siblings at North Ormesby (RG12; 4018; 27; 48).
Earlier than this there were problems, but I searched for sister Mabel in 1901 and found her as 'sister-in-law' in the Hewitson household. Mrs Hewitson was a Laura, but no suitable Laura Sill surfaced! However, I found the marriage on FreeBMD of Edward Hewitson and Laura Ellwood, and in the 1881 census there she is, as step-daughter to William 'Sile':
William SILE Head 29 Agricultural labourer b. Cliburn, Westmorland
Ann SILE Wife 26 b. Dufton, Westmorland
Laura ELLWOOD Step Daughter 6 b. Dufton, Westmorland
Mary N SILE Daughter 1 b. Dufton, Westmorland
There is a marriage in December quarter 1878 for William Sill and Ann Ellwood, E. Ward 10b 967.

In 1871 Ann Ellwood, then 17, is living with her grandmother Ann Bell at St Ann's Hospital, Appleby. The grandmother is shown as an Almswoman and young Ann is a General Servant.

As for William, this looks like the family in 1861 at Cliburn Village:
Robert SILL Head 64 Proprietor of Houses and Land 10 Acres b. Cliburn, Westmorland
Elizabeth SILL Wife 42 b. Cumberland
William SILL Son 9 b. Cliburn, Westmorland
Sarah KIRKPATERICK (sic) Daughter in law Unmarried 19 Dressmaker b. Askham, Westmorland
John GRAY Brother in law Unmarried 55 b Lowther, Westmorland.
RG09; 3961; 132; 6.
Elizabeth SILL was Elizabeth KIRKPATRICK, who married Robert in 1858 after the death of his first wife Mary in 1852.

Laura Ellwood was my maternal grandmother
and Robert Sile's half sister?....Laura met and married Edward Hewitson in Middlesborough or nearby. The family subsequently moved to the midlands and Edward, as a relatively young man, managed the Theatre Royal Birmingham.He went on to own three Smethwick cinemas and a variety theatre, became Mayor of Smethwick, a JP and was honoured. He died in 1936 - a couple of years after Laura. A pathe news film of the funeral can be seen on line.
I have fond childhood 1950's/60's memories of my Westmorland family and my great aunts & uncles including Mabel and Charlie - Robert's sister and brother perhaps?
