Biography

Henry was born on 2 January 1777 in Burton in Kendal, Westmorland. He was the son of Thomas Syll and Agnes Pearson.

On 2 February 1777 Henry was living in England.[1][2][3]

Henry married Elizabeth Towers on 21 June 1800 in Burton in Kendal, Westmorland. Name: Henry Sill Gender: Male Spouse's Name: Elizabeth Towers Marriage Date: 21 Jun 1800 Marriage Place: Burton in Kendal, Westmorland, England[4][5]

A marriage settlement dated 19th June 1800 names him as the younger son of Thomas Sill of Burton, Esq. It names Elizabeth Towers as the daughter of John Towers of Burton, yeoman and wife Mary, and as the cousin of Elizabeth Parkinson.[6][7]

Having been one of the magistrates (ie a JP) of Westmorland,[8] Rev. Henry Sill appears to have got into debt and had to sell property in Westmorland in about 1827,[9] moving to Herefordshire at about that time. He also resigned his church positions in 1825 and 1826.[10]

He died suddenly, while dining with friends, on 24th June 1833 and was buried in Ashperton, Herefordshire.[8][11]

His eldest daughter was Elizabeth Sill,[12] who would marry Robert Brooke in Hereford in 1835.[13]

Research Notes

Date of death

Marriage notice for daughter Elizabeth to Robert Brooke states her father, Rev Henry Sill of Burton, Westmorland was deceased in 1835. Other items from the Westmorland Gazette confirm that he was alive (and a JP) in March 1826 (Source: British Newspaper Archive).

Sources with no fact or date

There are additional sources with no facts or date. Often these are sources for the baptism or marriage of children that mention the parents or father. This section can just be removed if you will be adding those children and using these sources there.[14]

Issues to be checked

Generated by WikiTree AGC. This section should be removed when all issues have been looked at.

  • There is no source with source id 'S-1603504760'. GEDCOMPare typically does this when there is a source which is a record for a different person (such as the spouse). The ref is still added but is missing the source repository data.
  • A fact of type 'Residence' had no date but shared a ref with a 'Filing Date' fact with the date '26 March 1824'. So the fact with no date had its date set to that.
  • A fact of type 'Residence' had no date but shared a ref with a 'Baptism' fact with the date '2 February 1777'. So the fact with no date had its date set to that.

Additional issues to be checked:

  • These two alternate baptisms seem to be from a previous merge, but need an Ancestry account to access them:
Henry was baptised on 8 May 1806 in Burton in Kendal, Westmorland.[2]
Henry was baptised on 30 September 1807 in Burton in Kendal, Westmorland.[3]
  • Source for articled clerkship seems to be for Henry's brother:
Filing Date: 26 March 1824.[15]
On 26 March 1824 Henry was living in Burton In Kendal, Westmorland.[15]

Sill-399 and Sill-355 appear to represent the same person because: Same spouse and daughter. Date of death for Sill-355 is incorrect (see comment on that profile).
