Heath family of High Wycombe
- High Wycombe
I would love to make contact with any members of the Heath family of High Wycombe. My great-great-grandfather, Thomas Heath, (born in Ramsbury Wilts, circa 1825) died in High Wycombe aged about 60. He was a soldier, then a Miller and Chelsea Pensioner. He left a widow, Sarah Heath (nee Taylor) and a large family, most of whom seem to have stayed in the area. His son, Thomas, however, who was also a Miller, ended up married with children and living in Lancashire, where I live. I have a photo taken about 1906 of my great grandfather, Thomas, on a visit to High Wycombe and on the photo are all his brothers and their wives. Thomas was the only one at that time who was widowed, actually. Here's hoping,..............
