We are researching our HILTON family history. We are doing well from 1861 onwards but are stuck going further back. We have a baptism on June 14, 1835 at ST LEONARDS CHURCH, MIDDLETON for ROBERT HILTON, father JOHN HILTON, DYER, mother ELIZABETH HILTON. We have bought the 1841 census on CD from Stepping Stones and have looked through as much as is legible for Middleton but we cannot find them. We are now trying to look through the rest of the Manchester areas but unfortunately a lot of the pages are illegible also. If anyone has any ideas or can help in anyway we would be most grateful.
