I anyone is using these directories the most important place to look after you have found some one in the index is to actually look at the street section in question. This will give you an idea of the size of the residence and most importantly perhaps who else is living there as well. The later applies to people not in the index. In 1842 I found my Charles HIGGINSON living with Frederick HIGGINSON. I did not know of Frederick and I think he is probably a brother. They both were born in Dublin, 3 years apart and both in Dublin, had father's called Henry who were both Woollen/Cloth Merchants. Both men named their children Henry, Charles and Frederick. If it had not been for this find I would never have been able to find about who Henry's mother was as this was stated on Frederick's tombstone. This also gave me Henry's wife's maiden lane and took that branch of the family back 3 more generations. Also in 1872 I found Frederick in the index and when I looked at the street information there was a Walter HIGGINSON whom I have since researched and found a letter in the South African Archives where his mother is requesting an award for her son who " saved the Queens Colours " He had served through the Cape war of 1877-78 in the F.A.M.P.; lieut. and adj. 3rd regiment., Natal native contingent, Nov., 1878 So you how much more information may be added to your family history by just looking at the street indexes. Good luck to all those who will now go back and have another look. Let me know how you all get on. Cheers from sunny Sydney. Valerie B Garton [ Mrs ] A/Dip LAH & Dip FHS.
