18. William HILL was born on 23 Sep 1804 in Oakwood, Surrey.

Jane AVENELL was born on 22 Jul 1810 in Dunsfold, Surrey. Jane proved
very difficult to find as her name was entered on the IGI as AVEWELL.. However,
the members of the Surrey mailing list advised me that it was more probably AVENELL
and once this was discovered I found her birth with no further problems. She
died on 27 Nov 1872 in Kirdford Sussex. Children were:
