Hillyards born Piddington
« on: Wednesday 11 February 09 19:06 GMT (UK) »
Hello All
I found a few references to Hillyards and Piddington on this site and wondered if anyone shared “my” Hillyards and could help me go a bit further back.

My g. grandmother was Jane Hillyard, born 1830 in Piddington.  She married Thomas Wright in Harbury, Warwicks in 1852.

Jane’s parents were Thomas Hillyard and Hannah (Shaw), who had 8 children in all, 3 born in Piddington and 5 in Harbury. From the 1851 census Thomas Hillyard, is listed as born in Piddington age 48 so that would be about 1803. I can’t find anything on his birth in IGI, so I wondered if anyone had any more news on the family or access to Piddington parish records around that date for a look up. 
Many thanks, John, Bucks

Hi John.

Welcome to Rootschat.  Smiley

The Latter Day Saints were originally denied access to the
Northamptonshire Parish Records hence not many on the I.G.I.

There are now a lot of folk indexing them so the records are
increasing all the while.

I will P.M. you a possible in a moment.

Other information that may assist you is listed here.

Many thanks for these links, I'll give them a go tonight.

If all else fails, I guess it may be a visit to the parish records office in N'hampton!
