Maybe one of these will help. Is there a more common alternate spelling for Haigh?

Hello list:

I am attempting to find some information on the surname HAIGH. Doing
this for a friend on another list. Does anyone know where Monthly
Meeting records would be kept for areas mentioned? Also any other sites
or places that could be searched to find information on HAIGH?

Would appreciate any help and input from the knowledgeable ones on the
list. I always kind of flounder around and stumble on things. Thanking
you in advance.
