1821 & 1831 Penketh Lookup - Higham
« on: Monday 12 January 09 03:29 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I'm looking for my 4x great grandfather,Robert Higham,(laborer) in the 1821 & 1831 Penketh,Gr. Sankey census. He was christened 1784.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nancy

Nancy, I have only just seen this, I don't know why I wasn't notified automatically, maybe the wording of the request.

1821 Penketh census
Robt Higham, Agr, 2 males, 4 females, Total in house 6
(1 male under 5, 1 male 30 - 40; 1 female under 5, 1 female 5 - 10, 1 female 10 - 15, 1 female 20 - 30)

1831 Penketh census - unfortunately, no Higham records found.

Not a lot of information, but hope it helps a little.

Hi Garstonite,
Thanks for your help. I didn't have the marriage record for Thomas & Hannah.
Best wishes,
Nancy

Hi Margaret,
Thank you for the information. You've been so helpful. I'll now try to find when & where parents, Thomas & Hannah Fairhurst Higham were born and died.
