Re your post 28 September 2008 reference to the Chill family and the story about the name being split and half using the CHILL and the other CHURCHILL. My husband who was born in India used to tell me the same story including the bit about Winston Churchill. The family was in India from late 1700's leaving after independence. One of his uncles was killed in Burma. From two documents it indicates that the Chills were originally from Ireland but have been unable to trace where as it would have been before 1780.

Maybe we have a connection. Would be interested to hear from you
