Hi Lilian, Betty's death appears on both FreeBMD and Cheshire BMD in the 1st quarter of 1838. It was registered in Stockport First district, which would be Stockport Register Office. If you do a search on Cheshire BMD (where she's listed as Betty Heigham), you can click on the resulting link and get a form to fill in. www.cheshirebmd.org.uk Larkhill is in Warrington & there is only one death for a Thomas Higham recorded on both FreeBMD and Cheshire BMD in that year, although no age is given. It's in Warrington, so is probably your man.
