Re: Grace SYKES b 1820 Slaithwaite

Derek,

Have spotted those two IGI entries myself in the research, Susie looks the best bet at the moment.
There is also another Humphrey Sykes I've come across who is a Hatmaker not a Bookkeeper, born Slaithwaite 1806.
From 1841 - 1881 living Bury, Chorlton and Hale areas of Lancs/Cheshire. (Grace was married in Stalybridge).
This Humphrey married Ann Varley 1830 which is after Grace was born in 1820 (not impossible I know!) and their seven children are born between 1833 - 1852 so it's not that convincing.

Thanks for response

Regards

Roger Marshall
