I also have to find the parents of J W H Hickley, a grandson age 24, who was living with them in 1901. As is often the case I have a relationship to the Collins family, Sarah Hunt wife of Francis was a second cousin of my 4xgt-grandfather. I also have a family connection to the surname Hart so am disappointed not to be able to find any trace of a Jane Hart (any Hart for that matter) in Ecchinswell in 1841. She is recorded as being born there in every Census up to 1901. The marriage between William & Jane may have taken place in Ecchinswell but so far as I know that register is still held at Ecchinswell so has not been filmed. The only way to find out more concerning Jane Hart at this stage is to get a copy of the marriage certificate - unless of course someone on the List knows all about her :-) -- John Lewis Debian (Sid) with the GeneWeb genealogy package
