Rev. John Yeandle-Hignell (Urgent)
by Yeandle-Hignell, Tuesday, March 08, 2022, 17:47 (989 days ago)
Hello
I am trying to find some information and possibly photographs of my great uncle Rev. Yeandle-Hignell and his sister ( my Grandmother) Hilda Gwendoline Hignell. I know Rev. Y-H lived in the FOD in 1930 and was a Rector by 1933. I don’t know the name of the church, the record just says “The Rectory”. I have searched using their names but have not had any luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
