possible parents Benjamin & Emma (both b. 1827 Clare, Suffolk, not far from Ovington, Essex)
NB there are other Hickford families in the Clare area. Ben’s parents were William & Mary.
NB Emma Hickford was widow by 1861 - she was a straw platter - Benjamin prob died 1855
Emma was Emma WOOLARD or WOOLLARD, they married Q2 1848, Emma may have been from Haverhill (father inn keeper)
