Staffordshire / Re: Downing, Hill Top Farm Handsworth
« on: Saturday 08 September 12 12:40 BST (UK) »
I would appreciate any information prior to George and Elizabeth Downing, both born in 1810 and farmed Hill Top Farm.
I am a direct descendent of them - my mother was a Downing. Her father, Herbert, was the son of William Anthony Downing who in turn was the son of a William Anthony Downing. The latter was the son of George Downing, as mentioned above.
I grew up in NZ - the younger of the William Anthonys emigrated to NZ at some point.
Anyway, any information would be much appreciated!
