The Mann family is incredibly important in the history of Hickling and researching their various records and stories is a very big job! Back in April, we set out to bring everything up to date but there is still so much to do – I have decided to put things to one side for the moment with a view to returning to these studies later in the year.

Meanwhile, there is lots of new Mann family information to explore:

• Mann family page – including full parish and census records, and links to further detailed pages

Please contact us if any of these pages raise any questions for you, or if you can add to our existing information – thank you!
