Snap! But I'd already typed it, so I'm posting anyway!

[Ann E]

Thank you very much MaryA & Genjen, two postings are better than none.

Now I have to find where & when Esther died & his 2nd marriage.
Thanks,
Ann

[MaryA]

The marriage is fairly easy
William Higgins to Mary A Peach Q4 1866  Bethnal Green  1c 531
At St Andrew Church, Bethnal Green, Tower Hamlets
7th October, 1866
William was a Widower and Mary was a Widow
Both age 44
His occupation Solicitor's Clerk
Address 5 Victoria House Hackney Road
His father William Higgins no occupation given

No occupation given for Mary
Address 1 Oval, Hackney Road
Her father Thomas Slade, no occupation given

Witnesses Mathew Green and Haphysbah Beale
All apparently signed their names

[genjen]

There's a death in Bethnal Green for Esther E Higgins, aged 38, Jun 1866, 1c/173.

If this is the right Esther, William didn't waste any time in re-marrying, did he?

Jen

[MaryA]

Just thinking that myself.  Obviously needed a wife to look after the household and the daughter.

Hi Jen & MaryA
 Thank you so much , you have been such a big help,
I have been looking at free BMD & free Cen but not having a lot of luck,

Esther had family in Bethnal Green so every thing fits, &  Haphysbah Beale was her sister, your right about William not wasting any time in re-marrying, as they were both widowed it may have been to help each other out, I have come across this before.
 Thank you again, I would never found the info without your help
