Hi,
I'm looking for more information on all things Johan James Higgs. More specifically about his children.
My father was born to Petrus Cairncross Higgs who was the grandson of John James and we are looking to find out more about the Higgs name and where we came from.
Thanks Leila

Hi there,
Just a quick note wondering if anyone can help with the Higgs family of Bridgnorth?
They were a very large family very prominent in Bridgnorth life during the early 1900's
John James Higgs is probably the most well-known
( mayor twice) I am trying to sort out John James' mother Emma.
Here is the story so far - Emma Scriven born Alveley 1847 married local butcher William Higgs. They have seven children William Henry, John James, Arthur, Emma, Annie,Sydney and Robert.
During the early 1890's they ran a butcher shop in High Town Bridgnorth.
William died following an butchery accident in 1893. The children then carried on the business.
But what happened to their mother Emma ??
I think she may have married a man called Joseph Oakley around 1900 but I'm not sure. I can't see her on the 1901 census ( or perharps I have my eyes shut this morning !)
Any help much appreciated
