I don't see a marriage to Peter Hill.

However, there is this marriage, which seems to relate to that birth above:

Nancy Gilks
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Marriage Index, 1916-2005
Name: Nancy Gilks
Registration Date: Oct 1952
[Nov 1952]
[Dec 1952]
Registration Quarter: Oct-Nov-Dec
Registration District: Shipston
Inferred County: Warwickshire
Spouse: Wallace F Kemp
Volume Number: 9c
Page Number: 1609


There's a Kemp/Gilks son born in 1953.

The daughter may have been born in Birmingham in 1947, with mms written as Gilles.
(Carol A Hill).

I'm not posting it here, as she is likely still alive, as is also the case with the sons, but you can easily find it on FreeBMD.

Your aunt's birth?? Although you have her birth as in Alcester on your GR tree.

Births Jun 1920 (>99%)
Gilks Nancy (mms Simmonds) Shipston 6d 1963


Unfortunately, to find your cousins may be hard, if not impossible, as they have such common names.
