How to get children objects from parent name

I am using this piece of code to see if the user is hovering over the object by the name of "townhall" hit.collider.gameObject.name == "townhall"

But, what I want is to see if the user is hovering over the children of the object by the name of "townhall"

If the parent object "townhall" has a specific script on it (ie. TownHall.cs), what you can do is check if a parent of the object in question (hit.collider) has that script. Something like this.

var townHall = hit.collider.GetComponentInParent<TownHall>();
if (townHall != null)
{
    // The hit object or one of its parents has the townhall script
    //
}

Be aware that the hit object itself can return the specific script when using GetComponentInParent. Just check if it is the townhall object, either by name or some other determining factor.
