    1. Where is High Field or Highfields?
    2. In the 1851 census Sarah PIGG nee WOLFENDEN is living in Barkway, Hertfordshire, but claims she was born in High Field, Huntingdonshire. Sarah was the daughter of John WOLFENDEN and Ann UNDERWOOD who married in 1812 in Boxworth, Cambridgeshire. At the time of the marriage John was "of Midloe, Hunts". Sarah was baptised in Grafham in 1817. Her brother Thomas Page WOLFENDEN was baptised in 1814 in Southoe but his father was said to be a farmer from "Highfields". Can anyone tell me where High Field or Highfields might be? There is no parish of this name in Hunts so I presume it's the name of a small hamlet. I've been searching for three years without success trying to find a record of the baptism of Thomas and Sarah's father John WOLFENDEN who was born between 1780 and 1788 and was wondering if this might be a clue to help me find the baptism.
