This is from the newspaper coverage in May 1889. It mentions his brothers.
George Higgins himself was the eldest then Charles b 1863 and William b 1874 and James E b 1868. There was a William F born & died 1871.
William 1874 became chief constable of Neath and Edward was a teacher and then a police detective.I don't think they travelled abroad.Also they don't disappear like Charles.
I think the inquest was slightly incorrect regarding a brother being a sols clerk and another coming back from USA as it would seem that was Charles Higgins.
To complete the family George's parents were George 1837-1917 and Charlotte (Ring) 1837-1883 both from Bradford Abbas in Dorset and he also had sisters Bessie 1865, Eliza-Ann 1867, Mary Jane 1872 and Ellen A 1878-1879.
