Thomas Haigh, High Melton.

[Dalesman]

I'm looking for information regarding Thomas Haigh. He was born at High Melton in 1795 and  believe he lived in the area, died around 1880. I would like to know whether he had any family and where he's buried if possible.

Is this his baptism at High Melton:

Thomas, son of John and Catherine Hague, born 24 June, baptised 13 July 1795

[Milliepede]

Possible 1861

Thomas Haigh 66 farm labourer born High Melton
Elizabeth 66 wife
Jane Carr 13 granddaughter
George Wade 6 grandson

1871 just Thomas and Elizabeth both 75.  Thomas agricultural labourer.

[Milliepede]

Hope this is the right family

1851

Thomas Haigh 56
Elizabeth 55
Harriet 22 daughter
Catharine 20 daughter
Jane 16 daughter
John 10 grandson
William 6 grandson
Israel Carr 4 grandson
Jane Carr 2 granddaughter

So that gives lots of family to work on!

There is a death for Thomas in 1877 age 82.

This is all Doncaster district if that sounds right?  Elizabeth is born Marr which is where they seem to be living.

[Milliepede]

Marriage in Marr 25 Nov 1814 to Elizabeth Sowden. 

Death for Elizabeth Haigh also in 1877 age 82.

The surname spellings were originally interchangeable Haigh and Hague. However, in the later 20th century and currently they have chrystalised into two mutually exclusive version Haigh, being an entirely different family to Hague

Thank you Redroger also for your reply.

Up to the 1980s Marr continued to be a tiny hamlet by modern standards with only around 40 voters registered. However, since the 1990s it has blossomed and the last figure I saw was in excess of 100.
