good morning
thanks for your reply.
We have been looking for Henry's origins on and off for years!

We know he married Elizabeth Danby and their son,
William Hastings, is certainly one of my clan. But Henry doesnt
seem to appear on any igi records or anything, except his marriage
in 1791.I believe William was a stone mason too, they all worked on
the Duke of Portland's estates, Welbeck etc. Or so the rumour goes...
I was hoping he was also from Whitwell!Its a nuisance when ones ancestors
all come from Wales and Ireland(even more difficult)...
Well thanks again. I will keep on the trail.
regards
