Hi
I am curious about my ancestor Edward Higgins as on all census 1851 - 1901 he is listed as boatman/waterman but on the 1911 census his occupation is given as navel pensioner.
I've searched through the NA, FindMyPast and A****try but can't identify him in any of the records there.
What I do know is:
He was born approximately 1836, in Plymouth, parents James and Jane. At his marriage to Ellen Coles in 1857 his profession was seaman.
I'd be grateful for information or directions to where anything can be found.
Thnaks
Jo
