Hello Roger, Thanks for your reply. I would be very interested in anything you have on the Hickman name in Brierley Hill or Wordsley. I believe my Hickmans mostly lived in or around the North St area of Brierly Hill. Other names in the clan are Daniel,James,Mary,Priscilla,Annie,Timothy Jemima as well as the Samuel I am looking for. Thanks again, Susan. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.1.392 / Virus Database: 268.5.6/340 - Release Date: 15/05/2006
