Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Samuel Hick
« on: Monday 17 September 12 13:57 BST (UK) »
According to family legend, the methodist lay preacher Samuel Hick is great uncle to my great grandfather James Parker 1828-1889. James's mother is Mary nee Hick but I have not been able to make the link to Samuel. Sammy's life, 1757-1829, is documented in a book 'The Village Blacksmith' by James Everett. Other branches of the family have the same stry in their families but no-one has found the link. Does anyone on Rootschat have any knowledge of the story? James Parker spent his life in Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK, and Samuel Hick was a blacksmith in Micklefield, a small village east of Leeds on the old A1 trunk road near Aberford.
