My grt grt grandfather William Charles Higgs born 28 Marfh 1815 in Kent, arrived in Cape Town about 1835 where he married (1st wife- In St.George’s Church Cape Town on Monday October 26 1835 by the Rev George Hough MA, Senior Colonial Chaplain: Upon her death, William Charles Higgs (Chas) moved to Fort Beaufort with his young son and there married Catherine Emily Austen presumably in 1844. They had 10 children: William Edward b1845; Emily Ann b1849; Harriet emma b1851; George Charles b1854; Elizabeth b1856; Victoria Rose b1858; Alfred Frederick b1859; Clement Walter b1861. I would be happy to share all the South African Higgs info that I have. I can't seem to find out on which ship he came over. I also suspect that siblings may also have come to South Africa... maybe with him. I'm trying to find out who his parents and siblings were. -- Regards Ernest C Higgs M +61 (0)403 350 926 9 / 380 Malvern Road Prahran VIC 3181 Melbourne Australia This e-mail and any attachments are intended only for the named recipient(s) and may contain information that is legally privileged, confidential, or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
