Hello Nick, The marriage to Ann Hanby took place at Ashover, 1825 May 18, John Higton of this parish and Ann Handby of this parish, by banns. The marriage at Wirksworth on the 11th of November 1822 just has John Higton of this parish and Ann Mather of this parish, banns, witnesses Thomas Mather and Thomas Pickard.
