Births Dec 1867

Haigh Wilson - Ashton 8d 432

Births Jun 1870
Haigh Evelyn - Leeds 9b 563

not sure, mike my father in law died a long time ago he was in first world war and there's no one left to tell me anything, my f in law was harry haigh, it said on 1881 census he was he was 36.

looking good if you have found leonard. i know somehow harry ended up at bradford and then keighley

The sure way to get reasonably accurate info would be to purchase the marriage cert

Who was 36 on the 1881 census?

When was Harry born?

Christine

You would need to order Wilson's and/or Evelyn's birth certs to check the father was Harry, Henry or Harold ... so many possibilities that his birth is difficult to pinpoint.

I don't think your father in law would have been born in 1845

2 possibles for Leonard, You would need to check age.
