« on: Friday 26 October 07 13:10 BST (UK) »
MY great grand parents GILBERT HIGGNS & ANNIE (ANNA) DARRAGH were married 12/10/1861 at Ahogill First Presbyterian Church.
The record tells me that GILBERT was a soldier at that time and he was aged 23. His father was named Hugh Higgns and he was a weaver.
ANNIE--was aged 22 and her father was Patrick Darragh--a servant.
I would be gratfeul if anybody could tell me how to find out which regiment Gilbert served in--also where i can trace the births of both bride and groom--or anything pre 1861 please.about their parents.
I have the dobs of their children but not too sure about correct date of my grand mother's birth., She was Jane Higgins and there are 2 Janes--one--dob 10/04/1872 presumably she died but I have been unable to trace a record of this, Then a dob of 21/01/1877 for the 2nd Jane.--this is my grandmother On 2 census forms it gives her birth year as c 1878 which would tie in with 1877 but her brthday was 1st April not 21st January..
Any help/advice/pointers in the right direction would be welcomed
Thank you--Eileen.
