My Sill Family

The name Sill is derived from the medieval personal name Silva - which is short form of Silvester or Silvanus - meaning wood.

it has been identified that our branch of the Sill family originates in Jamaica. We have not yet been able to trace the family back to England. The earliest known ancestor is Richard Sill. Her great granddaughter Jane Bygrave emigrated to Australia from Jamaica in 1853.
