victorian window sill - laid across whole thickness of wall?

Googling produces lots of diagrams of sash windows and sills, but
nothing that I could find that answers my question below. Please can
someone advise me?
Normally, does the stone window sill in a typical 1880s victorian
terraced house (with sash windows) extend right across the whole depth
of the (8") wall?
I need to get a replacement sill from an architectural salvage yard
but I don't want to expose the old one (to measure the depth) until I
am ready to actually do the replacement so I'd like to estimate the
depth I need.
and is it sill or cill?
Cill, I believe!
The old Ashlar cills I removed from the current (Victorian - not sure
exactly how old though) renovation I am doing sat on the whole of the 9"
wall. The replacement cills just sat on the outside course of bricks.
Cheers
Martin
