3 George Higgins birth years
« on: Saturday 04 July 20 23:55 BST (UK) »
In my great grandmother's book of birthdays it mentions 3 George Higgins but just gives the day and the month and not the year. I am hoping that by discovering some dates it will narrow down and then we can discover the full dates of the 3 of them. They were all born at Bradford Abbas.
Birth or bapt years.
George Higgins 1810
George Higgins 1837
George Higgins 1859 bapt  named him as R/King. Mother Charlotte Ring was to marry George Higgins after a couple of years.
Birthday dates
12th Jan
1st Mar against this date it mentions 1810
4th Oct

Any help finding 1837 full date and 1859  without ordering certs. Many thanks Mark

On one of your previous threads Carole found George Ring’s birth registration in Jun qtr 1860:

www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=822147.msg6850050#msg6850050 (Reply #5)

As George H Ring he is 11 months old in the 1861 census (taken on 7 April 1861).

I am puzzled therefore that you say he was baptised in 1859.

The Registration district for Bradford Abbas was Sherborne.  Only one George Higgins birth - 1874

Only one George Higgins b Bradford Abbas on the 1861/71 - b 1810

1851 has the George b 1837 - son of George b 1810

1871 - he is married with a son George b 1861 - shown as b Bradford

Check the census entries on Family Search

You will also find the 1810 & 1837 baptismal entries on FS

Always best to check the free resources before posting

You are correct it should be 1860. The census took place on the 7th April 1861. Therefore if 11m it does not tie up with any of the 3 dates  in the family book of birthdays adding to the mystery.

Bradford Abbas OPC list George Higgens 1810 and 1837 George Higgins. George H Ring 1860 becomes George Higgins.

Christenings, not Birth Dates, Bradford Abbas;
GEORGE 18 Mar 1810, Mother ELIZABETH
GEORGE 12 Feb 1837 to GEORGE/JANE, before civil reg so no Birth Cert will be available.

There is a 60 year old Elizabeth Higgins in Bradford Abbas in 1841 Census.
