Hello Cookson
It seems a while since you gave me the parents of Hugh Billington; I have been searching for all this time to find his baptism.
The information I can find at Chester Records Office is:
Thomas Billington m Acton 13.05.1718 Hanna Walker (are these Hugh's grandparents?)
They had a son also Thomas Billington bapt 10.04.1720 Cholmondeston; unable to find a marriage for this Thomas, but would hope he is the father of Hugh b abt 1742? Have you any idea how I can find the baptism for Hugh?  I have his marriage to Margaret Minshull on 01.02.1767 St Mary's Nantwich.
Any help would be appreciated??
With thanks, marthaannie

Hi Marthannie.
Had a look for Hugh Binnington birth records, but could not find a source, only year of birth, and place. Sorry i cant help you any further on this.
Try putting another post on Cheshire board, might get a result with a different set off eyes looking.
Good luck.
 Regards...... Cookie.

Hugh Billington is my 5 G Grandfather too. His son Thomas married Hannah Hilditch, is my 4G Grandfather.  Hugh has been my brick wall for many years now. I have not been able to push this line any further back, with confidence. I have seen other trees with the names Thomas Billington and Hannah Walker as Hugh's parents....But is there any real concrete evidence, to support this thought? I haven't found any, as yet.

I note you have been Chester to do some family research. Did you look at Wills while you were there?

Hello forshaw
I have still not found any concrete evidence re the birth of Hugh Billington or Margaret Minshull.  As Hugh was a Hatter by occupation I have been informed that there was a big hatting community in Stockport; still drawn a blank!
John Billington was my 3 x grt grandfather who married Elizabeth Williams, is he yours too? As John was one of ten children, I would be very interested to hear which sibling is your 3 x grt grandfather.
I do have copies of several Wills re the Billingtons if you could let me know who you are interested in? 
I was very pleased to receive the message on this board from Adam Billington whose Albert Billington moved with his wife Sarah Ellen Williams to Manchester; unfortunately not received further messages and this was a line I was unable to continue.
Kind regards, marthaannie
