Helping hands helping one another with our family history & genealogy research.
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping that someone here may be able to help me. My GG Grandfather William Henry HIGGINS was born in Launceston on 8/6/1863. His parents were William Henry HIGGINS (Snr) and Ann Wilson DUNCAN, and I don't think they were or ever married.
Ann DUNCAN and son migrated to New Zealand around 1870, she married Edward SHANNON in 1875, and they both took the SHANNON name.
I have been unable to track any information about William Henry HIGGINS (Snr). I have found the following details about a William HIGGINS:
1. William HIGGINS (b1819) married Charlotte BLAIR(b1824) 2/11/1852 in Launceston
2. William HIGGINS(b1818) Launceston married Margaret McCale(b1818) 1868 in Launceston. Higgins widowed, so I think it was the same one who married Charlotte BLAIR
3.William HIGGINS (b1820-1870) died in Launceston
4.William HIGGINS (b1807-1890) born in Scotland died in 1890 in Launceston
I'm guessing that 1, 2 and 3 are the same William HIGGINS, but I cannot verify this.
If someone can help or has a suggestion I would be very grateful, this has been the only line in my family tree I have been unable to trace back to their European origin.
Thanks,
Jeremy
