Trinidad Huggins Family

[SMJW]

Hi
I am looking for the parents of Emma Isadora Huggins. She may have come from the St.Vincent Huggins. I believe she was related in some way to George F. Huggins the shipping magnate in Trinidad - they would have been contemporaries.
She was married to Richard Malcolm Steele in Trinidad 26 Apr 1881. Their son Albert Malcolm Steele was born 2 September 1883 in Port of Spain,Trinidad. Albert Malcolm Steele married Gladys Imogene Ottley who was born in 1887 and died in 1959. Albert & Gladys had 12 children including Audrey Violet Steele b 1908.
A Joseph S. Huggins was listed as witness at the wedding of Emma Huggins and Richard Steele on 26 April 1881 at the Parish Church of Holy Trinity Port of Spain, Trinidad.
I have a large family tree of Huggins family from St Vincent. I think Emma Isadora Huggins may be a descendant of one of the two sons of Joseph Stanley Huggins  1792-1830.  The sons were James Huggins 1818-1867 and Thomas Fairbain Huggins 1821-1879.
Hoping someone out there can help,
Thanks Susan

Hi Susan
I am a Huggins descended from St Vincent although i believe the name was inherited as my ancestors were indentured Indians around 1860-1880.

Would it be possible to have any info you have on the Huggins from St Vincent.

I've spent ages researching and i believe this will allow me to take it to the next step.

Many Thanks

Garry

Hi Garry,

I too descend from the St. Vincent Huggins family.  My grandfather's ancestors were indentured Indians as well.  I would love to connect and to find out what you've learned in your research.

Take care,
Carolyn

Hi Susan,

Similar to Garry, my ancestors were indentured servants in St. Vincent who adopted the name Huggins during the mid 1800s, likely because they worked on one of their estates.

I would be very interested in any research regarding the Huggins family that you can provide.  Thanks very much in advance for your help.

All the best,

I'm curious if any of you who are Huggins descendants in Trinidad know how the family arrived there?  Do any of you have information about the original Huggins immigrants to the island, and who their ancestors were?  I have a friend whose surname is Huggins, grew up on the island, but doesn't know anything about the origin of the family.  I'm also trying to determine if my Huggins ancestors (in New England) have any close relation to the Huggins's who emigrated to Trinidad.  Thank you!
