The earliest militia list available on Bradfield Archives online is 1819. There are a total of 11 documents returned for the name John Hill in that database, but none on the militia lists

Hello Dave,

Yes that could be good news 1819 is bang on for me. I will try the archive.
Thanks very much.

Regards Phil.

Not sure if I can help but I live in Penistone and work in the Penistone Archive if you can let me have more details I can have a look to see if we have any information in the Archives. We have information for the Thurlstone area.

If you could email me I can let you have details of what I have found in the Penistone Archive together with photos of what I have copied this maybe what you were looking for
