Families covered: Higham of Denham, Higham of Giffords Hall, Higham of Higham (Heigham of Heigham), Higham of Wickhambrook
| We have adopted the spelling "Higham" for this family although "Heigham" also has a strong claim. BLG1886 is the most recent of the Main Sources we have used for the page and uses Heigham throughout. However, "Higham" appears most used within cross-references to this family from other families and also appears to be the modern spelling for the village which originally gave the family its name. | |||||||||||||||
