I have been off this list for a while trying to pursue other branches of the family. I am still trying to find the birth/baptism of my g-grandfather Thomas HIGGINS, born HEF (Huntly according to 1861 Census). He would have been born between 1825-1837. Age given varies on each record. His father was a farmer named William. Do not know his mother's name (unfortunately). There are 2 "possibles" on the 1851 Census for HEF - one is definitely not him and the other I can't find a baptism for. He shows up in 1857 when he married an Elizabeth VINES - both were living in Parkend. I have a very good record of him from 1857 on. Maybe someone has joined the list recently who may also be researching HIGGINS. If so, would love to hear from you.
