Notes for Richard Middleton Hill
Of Dilton Ley, Limpley Stoke, Bath.

In the 1881 census he was an assistant master at Felsted school, Essex.

In 1911 he, his wife, two daughters and son had moved to Oxford; I wonder if this was for the children’s education?

Harleian Soc, Vol LXVII for 1916: Grantees of Arms, 1687-1898, vol I, p. 182: “Hill, . . .  of Ditton and Britford, Wilts; and Kingsdown House, Roath Co. Glamorgan, Wales, 18..., Vol LVII, fol 129.”

I wonder if the grant was obtained for Richard Middleton or for his father Richard Humphry.
