Hi George

We have communicated before on the HIGHTONs to try and find a link hence I
was hoping to meet up with you at Bhead library last week.

Henry HIGHTON bc1823 who married Elizabeth SHERLOCK b1796 is in my direct
line she is my 3rd x gt aunt. Unfortunately neither Henry nor Eliz made it
to the 1841 census and the children were brought up by my 4 x Gt
Grandparents and Elizabeth's siblings. So far I have not been able to find
a marriage for Henry and Eliz. I was hoping to find one on my last two
visits up north but maybe third time lucky.


Regards Pam
