There are 4 - James Higgs in Hanney in 1851.   Any idea of approximate age ??

Can't find any Thomas Higgs in South Stoke (or in the vicinity)

James Higgs was born in 1805 so he would be 46. He had a son Robert born in 1849.

Please could you look for Mark Higgs born in South Stoke in 1849 so he would be abt 3

Many thanks for looking

Almost got the wrong James Higgs, the 46 year old on the census is not yours (if Robert is definitely the son)

Ref
HO107/1689  f. 7  p. 6
Name, Relation, Mar, Age, Sex, Profession, Where Born
James HIGGS, Head, Mar, 40, Male, Agricultural Labourer, West Hanney BRK
Ann HIGGS, Wife, Mar, 36, Female,  , Hilmarton WIL
Ellen HIGGS, Daur, , 15, Female,   , East Hanney BRK
James H HART, Son in Law, , 9, Male,   , East Hanney BRK
Sarah HIGGS, Daur, , 5, Female,  , West Hanney BRK
Robert HIGGS, Son, ,2, Male,  , West Hanney BRK

Marital status and profession are blank for most.

I wonder whether you now have a conundrum, as there is a James HIGGS age 46 in Hanney but not with a son Robert.   If you want these details, let me know.   Also there are no Mark HIGGS in the 1851 census.
