Gill
dudley


Phillis Gill was born in Dudley and was a coal miner's daughter, she was the second wife of widower John Childs and stepmother to David John. She was the great great great grandmother of the youngest Childs generation today...

The story has been difficult to unravel as there were two Gills, possibly brothers, both coal miners, both had daughters named Phillis born in 1846 with siblings Joseph, and William. The families lived next door to one another in Low Town (The Hole) Dudley in 1851.
