Hi Paula.....
Sorry that I haven't contacted you sooner. Housework really hampers everything
First of all, I think the marriage I gave you for Richard Higginson to Mary Ann Duggin, is incorrect . Mary Higginson never uses Ann, as part of her christian name. I found Mary Ann Duggin, on the 1841 census , living at Bolton le Moor.
There was no mention of the name, at all in Flintshire.
However, I found the marriage of Richard Higginson to MARY PRICE, which took place at the Church of Our Lady and St Nicholas and St Ann. It was Registered in the March quarter of 1842 at Liverpool in volume 20 page 212. I am sure that this is the correct marriage. If you do obtain the marriage certificate, it will give both fathers names, there occupations, and their abode. There were usually two witnesses, which may be siblings.......
The marriage of SAMUEL JONES and ELIZABETH HIGGINSON took place at Hawarden May 5th 1824 This confirms that she was Ann's daughter. However, I cannot find any baptism for her, and I have the Parish records (most) upto 1820. I do not think this lady, could be your Richard's sister. The age difference is too great..........
These are the other HIGGINSON baptism's just in case they become useful.
James BAYLEY Higginson. Base born son of Joseph Higginson of Bretton Hall, and Esther BAYLEY. born August 29th 1808, baptised September 16th 1808
John EVANS Higginson. Base born son of John Higginson of Bretton , and Susannah EVANS . born February 24th 1808, baptised February 28th 1808
William EVANS Higginson. Base born son of John Higginson of Bretton , and Susannah Evans. Born July 26th 1809, baptised August 13th 1809.
If you can bear with me about a week, I shall send for some later Parish Records, and see if I can find any thing more for you. I need then any way.
I think that if you send for Elizabeth's birth certificate, (1843) it will confirm to you her mothers maiden name, and then you can obtain her parents marriage certificate. It will be money well spent.
Kind Regards
Jeannie
