Wonderful, I am not sure how this works but I am aware of the problems re literacy and spelling of Hagan/Heggan/Heggins. I have blamed illiteracy/ pronounciation.

re Margaret, I believe she was Hamil.
On tracing Thomas Higgins, GGF, a cousin has located a document signed by a Navy Minister which claimed this was his parents.

How do we contact each other for more info?

Hi Jim, I can see we are not allowed to send personal messages, do you us Ancestry.com if so I have a family tree on there, called "Harvey-Dawson family tree" if you search for Thomas Haggan 1862 Larne Ireland you should find my tree as there is a photo on his profile, then you can message to me on there, I have a big tree lol there is a nice picture of them all on there if not will have to think of something else shame we can't send personal messages only just found this page the other day. Regards Jen.

Sorry no access to Ancestry.com

I access most via hotmail



I only have record of 12 chidren Thomas/Emily – no copy birth certs
Yes problem tracing Thomas m Emily Spence, I have b 1857, but failed to locate record of death. Newspaper cuttings 1918 refer to late Thomas?
Also confusion re his son Thomas b 1884 d 1953 m Dorothy Eliza .
They also had a son Thomas unknown b, d 1943 seaman RN Seaman  LT/JX 189988.
Records I locate show Emily m Dawson as Higgins Larne 1915?
Most of family at time refered to as Higgins
What was your fathers name? Was he born Larne.
I haven’t located any ref. Emily Dawson/Hagan d 1956 Boston Lincolnshire?
Are you aware of her younger brother Samuel b 1900 d 1964 also went to Boston Lincolnshire?
