Since my last posting requesting more information about my Hillier family.

I have since learnt more details to add on to my last positing.

My grandfather Percy Hillier dob 15 February 1895 was born in Wandsworth, London, England. He also had other brothers and sisters called Harvey, Frank, James, Bessie and Mary (Hillier?) Nothing was mentioned about his supposedly two other elusive brothers called George Hillier who was a Police Constable in London, and went to live in South Africa, and Timothy Hillier - a Vicar, also lived in South Africa. I have heard that there was a George Hillier who was promoted to Sergeant in South Africa, but I'm trying to establish if he is linked to mine!

My great grandfather was called Harvey (Hillier?) and possibly born in Wandsworth, London, England.

My great grandmother was called Annie Smith and was born in Oxfordshire, England.

I would still be grateful for more information re above and who my grand uncles and grand aunts married to, and what the names of their children were (who would be my second cousins and possibly still be living, but where do they live?)

Wishing you all a very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2003.

Harvey is my great grandfathers name and timothy is also a family name that has been commonly used i believe that we are related ??? contact me if you like via my email

Hi Jamie

Thank you for your reply to my message - my message was sent 7 years ago - I had forgotten all about it!

I've traced about 19 long lost cousins now as a result of that first early message posted in 2002!

If you subscribe to Ancestry.com and pay for it you will see lots of family photos that two of my long lost found 2nd cousins have compiled. It's fascinating to see what our ancestors used to look like!

There are lots of Harvey, Timothy, Thomas, James Hilliers about, so its best to start with Date of birth and birthplace which eliminates a lot of the Hilliers from our direct family tree of ancestors.

My great grandfather was Harvey Hillier born 1872 in Battersea, South London - died 1931 - was married to Annie Hettie Smith.

There's lot more information but it turned out to be a very long and huge family tree!

This information should be the start for you and if you need to know anymore, please give me dob and birthplace of your Harvey Hillier - it's possible that we may be related but until we both have the same dates and it tallies then it could lead to discovering more long lost rellies!
