Census lookup help please HIGGINSON

[sheddyg]

Guys thank you!
The only info I've had to go on is that he was born early 1900s (1905-1910 maybe?) probably in England, lived in Sydney, fathered a child which he chose to have no contact with (who I am doing this search on behalf of) and he definitely had a wife by the mid/late 1940s and it is unlikely they had any children as they were looking to adopt. I do not know the wife's name so could be Myrtle?
The ages all fit with the info you have kindly provided and also the lack of any other recorded Charles Higginsons in that area and time.
I shall have to keep digging and check out the English connections you gave me.
Thank you.
😀😀😀

Just to add we were also told he may have been in the Air Force so that fits too! 😁

Hi there,

Charles WW2 service summary
http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=R&VeteranId=918176

Cando

The RAAF service records for Charles are held by the National Archives of Australia and are not yet digitised, but their online index shows you can request a copy  (for a fee), and I would expect they would show where he was stationed during/throughout his service, including each change with their respective dates.  It can take months for the request to be processed when the file has not yet been examined.  The current fee is around Au$75.00
