Higgins/Pettifer & Northleach
« on: Wednesday 07 May 08 10:56 BST (UK) »

I am interested in the Higgins family of Northleach. My ancestor Elizabeth (aka Jane) Pettifer b 1849 in Great Barrington, married a George Higgins from Northleach. I would be grateful if someone is able to look up George Higgins for me.

According to the 1881 census, George was born c1846 in Northleach.  (There are actually 2 guys with the same name born around that time, so you need to be careful, but the one married to Elizabeth/Jane is consistently younger on census than the one married to Eliza.)

Births Jun 1848  
HIGGINS    George       
Northleach 11 386   (page number hard to read)

I think this is your George in 1851:

HO107/1969/97/3
Northleach, Gloucs

Rich. HIGGINS - Head - 30 - Ag Lab
Mary HIGGINS - Wife - 29
Sarah HIGGINS - Dau - 7
George HIGGINS - Son - 4
Eliza HIGGINS - Dau - 7 mo
(All born Northleach.)

Marriages Jun 1845
HIGGINS  Richard            
PARKER    Mary Ann
Northleach 11 473

The Volume and Page numbers (as found on freebmd) mean nothing to the Register Office now holding the birth registration records; so if you send an application to them - see http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/RegOffice/ for the snailmail address - you will no doubt receive a b-cert pdq at a cost of £7 - assuming you are in the UK.

If outside the UK or wish to purchase on-line, you should apply to the GRO - http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ - for which you will need the Vol and Page numbers.

P.S.

It's long  before the George you enquired about but at Northleach between 1736 and 1812 there was only one baptism of a Higgins - see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm  so be prepared to look around Wink

She was Elizabeth Jane - see above site Wink
