    1. [DBY] John Higton married Ann Hanby/Mather
    2. Nick Higton
    3. Could I please ask if some kind soul would lookup one, maybe two, marriages on the microfilms in the Derbyshire Record Office relating to John Higton, born 09 Jan 1784 at Wirksworth? I am reasonably confident that the maiden name of John's wife was Hanby or Handby, and that she was born in Lea DBY in about 1800. I have a possible marriage at Wirksworth on 11 Nov 1822, for John Higton to Ann Mather but, if this is the correct marriage, she must have been a widow. Could someone please check if the PR records her marital status and, if so , was she a widow or a spinster? If she was a spinster, then this marriage is not the correct one, so a marriage at Dethick was appear to be the most likely, and with a probable date range 1820 - 1826. Could sks please search for this too? This date range is because I have baptisms for two children on John and Ann: Mary Ellen born on 21 Sep 1823 at Wirksworth, and George baptised on 07 May 1826 at Dethick (Ince records George as their only child). These may, or may not, be children of the same parents, of course. Thanks, Nick
