Father Samuel HIGHFIELD, b. Abt 1826, Tibberton, Shropshire, England
, d. Dec Q 1899, Market Drayton Reg Dist, Shropshire Cheshire or Staffordshire, England
(Age ~ 73 years) Mother Dinah ROGERS, b. Abt 1824, Doley, Adbaston, Staffordshire, England
, d. Dec Q 1915, Market Drayton Reg Dist, Shropshire Cheshire or Staffordshire, England
(Age ~ 91 years) Married Mar Q 1855 St. Oswald's Church, Hinstock, Shropshire, England
- GRO ref: HIGHFIELD, Samuel to Rogers, Dinah q1 1855 M Drayton RD 6a 931
Location from local (Shropshire) BMDThe 1911 census shows that Samuel and Dinah had had 9 children, 6 or whom were still living. Using the GRO online index to look for Highfields with mother's maiden name Ro(d)gers, I can only find 7 so I think that they were probably counting Dinah's two illegitimate children as well.
