Hi Peter, Deane Burials held at Bolton Archives unfortunately only go to 1886, and I am not aware of any other transcription. Have discovered some interesting things about John Higson. On the 1861 Ref: 2810/p.311 there is this family: Deane Village, Morris St. Peter Higson, 55 Maria, wife, 54 Rebecca, daur, Single, 24 Ellen, daur, Single, 20 James, g.son, 3 On the 1871, ref: 3921/p.96 there is this family: Deane Village, Morris St. Ellen Higson, head, widow, 30 Thomas, son, 9 Peter, son, 6 JOHN, son, 5 Henry, son 2 Rebecca, sister, single, 34 James, son of Rebecca, 13 Morris Street is where Peter Higson was living in 1891. In neither census is there any sign of Ellen's husband, so did she remain unmarried, or marry another Higson perhaps. Could John have followed his mother's example and remained unmarried! Cheers, Valerie
