Hello Mary - and others interested in the Hillyard family from Piddington!
I am a descendent from Andrew Hillyard/Sophia Whitbread as well through their daughter Alice who was born approx. 1838 immigrated to Canada in the 1860's. Last year, I came across a letter that was written by Sophia to Alice in 1865, I will gladly share it with you if you are interested in seeing it. One cool thing about it is that it refers to the death of US President Abraham Lincoln that had occured 2 weeks before the date stated on the letter.
Any information on Andrew Hillyard and Sophia Whitbread would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Martin
