I wonder if someone can tell me if Church St was near to Snowhill in early 19th C - from Wrightson's directory I have William Hayward & sons - bellows makers but am trying to find gt.gt. grandfather - too many names the same!!!
Many thanks,
Sheri

Thank you horsencart for the information it was kind of you. I'm looking for Hayward/Haywood before 1818 just to see if I can go further back than then.
Thanks again,
Sheri
 
The name Haywood goes back to at least 1683 (St Martins Birmingham)

Hi horsencart - I did suspect this family were an old Birmingham family and well established but because of all the different ways of spelling the name it makes it difficult to tie them together which I would love to do.
Thank you for your help.
