I am researching the Gill family. My earliest trace is Samuel Gill ,born at Derby.UK. 1805 , died 1877 and buried at St. John's Church ,Throapham. His wife Alice came from Throapham and is buried at Ridgeway , Derbyshire. Sam Gill was a Sawyer and appears with his family in the 1841 Census at Laughton. However his ancesters and their origins are a puzzle. No sign. His wife's nee name is also unknown. Any ideas please. Any history of this area around this period welcome. Thank you. , Terry Gill.
