Can anyone tell me anything about Gainsborough in the 1850's. I'm searching a family of HILL that is a complete mystery. If I understand more about that time, maybe I can find another clue for these people. I think they may have been related but what the connection is with these names, I don't know. Names are Henry or Hiram Hill, Mahalah Hill, (adults)Phillip, John, George Henry, and Lydia Hill (children) Thanks for any help you can give. DB

I don't know anything about Gainsborough, Lincoln co. but I am descended from the Hills that you mention in your post. Henry Hill was my gr. gr. grandfather and George Henry was my Gr. grandfather. I have quite a bit of info. on this family if you are still interested. I see that your post is several years old.

I also just found this message. I have been looking at family from Gainsborough Tp recently. I've found the Ontario County Atlas to be a great help. McGill University has digitized many of the maps; they are easily found on their site and can be downloaded. The maps often help understand some of the patterns in marriage too.
