Hi

Did Mary marry or was Higgins her maiden name?

It helps to put names in capital for clarity  ;D ;D

Cheers Janette

Hi,it always pays to give as much information as you can to help folk who are looking,I notice your requests are a bit sparse on information which makes it hard for others to do look ups for you,

Cheers Janette

Hi There

Do you have her marriage or death certificate to get her parent's names ?

I'm afraid that without her parents names your search has come to an end.

If you purchase the certs and get her parents names then please come back to us and we can try and help you.

Good Luck

Tara

You may need to work back from her death rather than going straight to Ireland,her marriage cert should give her parents,the marriage info will be more accurate than her death cert as death info is given by an informant where as the marriage info is given by the couple themselves,
