. The eldest son (and presumably heir) of Walter was Michael Earle Sinclair Higgin, but I believe he relocated to the United States.

so realistically we need to work backwards from Michael
b 1920 mmn earle
...............................
1918 Walter W Higgin married Olive Earle
......................................................
Walter Wynefied Higgin was born in Mossley Hill , Liverpool in 1890...( as it happens 2 miles from my home )
father William S Higgin - mother Jean Higgin
1891 census has them in Wavertree ,Liverpool with a 1 month old daughter - no name - and 4 servants
William S Higgin is 35 born Lancashire and Jean is 34 born Scotland...can't find a marriage on freebmd so I presume they married in Scotland ....will look for the marriage
ADDED - no luck with marriage - I wonder if Jean maiden name was Wynefield / Winefield with it being Walters middle name ??
ADDED again - forget that suggestion about Jean being a Wynefield / Winefield - I think it should be Walter Winfield Higgin and it was mistranscribed as Wynefield....the reason being there are a few
Walter Winfield Higgin - and
Winfield Higgin on Lan-opc - and they are Gentlemen / Cotton Manufacturer
if my thoughts are right - your Higgin may have been from Lancaster - needs more research
see what you think

I think that your Walter Wynefield Higgin - father of Michael Earle Sinclair Higgin is somehow connected to the Lancaster Higgin family ....probably needs someone more experienced than me to research William S Higgin birth and parents - in census it says he was 35 in 1891 and born in Lancashire
good luck
