Just a theory:-

Peter was the illegitimate son of Elizabeth Hudson and so his birth was registered under Hudson.

Elizabeth couldn't look after him so Peter and Emma Hill took the boy in because his father, Richard Hill, was a member of the family.
Was Richard, Peter and Emma's son, hence the young Peter was named after his Grandfather, which was very common in those days?

The census records posted don't show Peter and Emma with any children but may be worth checking them in the other records to see if they did have a son called Richard.

Otherwise, maybe they just couldn't have any children of their own and he was adopted by the couple and so officially changing his name from Hudson to Hill???? :-S

Re. the above census, you would probably expect 'son-in-law' to mean stepson - terms interchangeable back then. Not sure what that would signify though!

This doesn't help but I think this is Peter and his brother John. Can't think why they are with young Peter though.

Thankyou to everyone for their efforts in helping me. If I can clarify anything let me know. The occupation of my granfathers mother Elizabeth is a net braider. On his birth certificate she was elizabeth hudson at the previous address and he was registered as peter hudson born at the other address given. I wish I could provide more info especially on her but this is the brick wall I have found myself up against. I did wonder about the Richard and emma hill as I too found this and wondered how a couple in their fifties would have a 2 year boy!!!!! Rumour has it that he was either left/abandoned and that he went to a boys catholic school all in the sculcoates area. All he ever muttered about his family was that his mother was a tart and his father a seaman, not very nice but he wouldnt talk about any of his childhood and we never knew why his surname changed from huson to hill. I have info on him in the military and on these documents he has picked up the middle name of Richard which is why I wondered if Richard and Emma were a link.
Thanks for all your support

Isn´t Emma a bit old at 54 to be the mother of a 2 year old.
I suppose it´s possible as they appear to have only been married for 2 years
but would have thought it a bit unlikely.

Thanks ***alviegal***
Old enough to be grandparents???

Above 1911 - not likely to be him. I've tried every which way but can't see him as Hudson or Hill:

Can anyone look at this 1911 census

HILL, Emma 1857 54 F Sculcoates Yorkshire (East riding)
HILL, Peter 1854 57 M Sculcoates Yorkshire (East riding)
HILL, Peter 1909 2 M Sculcoates Yorkshire (East riding)

Silly me! I thought 'net' was a typo.
Doh.

Thelma.
Good thinking. I assumed it was meant to be nee Braider.
No wonder we can´t find her.

I thought she was a Net Braider.

Is net braider her occupation?

Could she be Eliza Braider aged 13 on the 1891 census, living with her stepfather William Hartley, mother Serena Hartley , brother Albert Braider 15, Edith Braider 8 & Sam Hartley 2
Living Sheffield.
Looks like she was born Sheffield 1878.

Are you sure of her maiden name? Not finding much for 'Braider'.
