Member Since: May 2005 Posts: 14 Send Message	A member very kindly sent me an e-mail with the information that Thomas Hiscoe married Elizabeth? (guessing about 1860) they were wealthy of independant means and owned woollen mills in Holbeck, Leeds. His father came from Germany/Russia and changed his name by deed poll from Hiscox to Hiscoe. I have tried to confirm this information but despite looking on the web I can't find any trace of woollen mills being owned by either a Hiscoe or Hiscox! Would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you Jane
