I have been researching my extended family for over 25 years, and the main results are contained in my HIGTON HERITAGE website (http://higton.one-name.net).
It is a genealogical study of the surname HIGTON and its variants, mostly originating around Wirksworth, Derbyshire, and of people who married in, notably from the CASTLEDINE (Bingham, Nottinghamshire), BROADLEY and TOOTHILL (Bradford, Yorkshire) families. To a more limited degree, it also includes information on many other related families (to view their details, hover or click on the Surnames at the foot of my page).
At its heart, it is the history of the HIGTON family who originated in Cromford and the area surrounding the nearby ancient town of Wirksworth, Derbyshire, England, and has since spread across the world.
