For Mary Hill probably None:

From what I have seen I believe Mary is meant to be linked to the family below her, the Burrows family.

Reason:

In 1901 Mary is visiting another Burrows family, George and Agnes.

George Henry Burrows married Agnes Weson/Weston in Sep 1882.

George Hill married Mary Weston Dec 1867.

Both Loughborough District which includes Long Whatton where Mary and Agnes are from.

Looking back through the census it appears that Mary and Agnes were sisters.

Thanks for clearing that up for me David.

Another red herring!
Do enjoy a bit of detective work though.

I did say probably, it could well be possible that Walters wife Jane was a Burrows or a Kilby relative as both family names can be found in Scalford. Although since Herbert is on the census below Mary Hill perhaps he has a Burrows/Kilby link.

I can feel a headache coming on ... ;-)
