57. John HIGHAM
Rob Higham (Qld) found a christening date of 10 Oct 1802 at Saint Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey, London, England.
Found the following info on the English FreeBMD search page. Seems too much of a coincidence that a Nathaniel Higham and a Mary Ann Norwood got married at the same District in the same month and year and were registered on the same page/volume not to be that they married each other and dates would match up with being just prior (3years or so) to the birth of William Nathaniel.
