Hi rootschatters, I have been researching my Higgs ancestors from the Trysull area and wondered if anyone is connected to the names listed in my title?
My line goes back to the Pratt family, and my ancestor Henry Pratt made his will in 1698 which was witnessed by Thomas Pudsey, Thomas Wollaston and William Barnsley jnr. He named Thomas Pudsey in the will as his 'loving friend' along with a Thomas Pratt of Bellington?
I have looked at the will of Elizabeth Barnsley of Trysull also dated 1698 where she lists relatives including her Pratt 'cousins' (sons and daughters of her brother Pratt) I'm assuming bro in law here, and they are named as Thomas, James, Samuel, Jeremiah, Josiah, Andrew, Margaret Kors?, and Sarah.
I am not sure how these all add up together, but any info and suggestions would be helpful, thanks.
