Thank you for that information Sara I'll follow up with them. Patrick and Jane appear to have had six children all of whom migrated here to Sydney in New South Wales, any dates I have have been calculated back from shipping records and are not authenticated. Sarah seems to have been born in 1850, Thomas in 1854, Mary Jane in 1855, Annie in 1856, Anthony Mark in 1857, Michael in 1858 and James also in 1858, were they twins, although there is no corroborating yet found to support that idea, maybe the dates are wrong. That's about all the information I have at this stage. Thanks a million for all your help. Jammes. -----Original Message----- From: irl-wicklow-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:irl-wicklow-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Sara b Carroll Sent: 19 June 2011 23:07 To: irl-wicklow@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [IRL-WICKLOW] Look up Hi,   Here is the link to the Irish Family History Foundation.....You have to pay 5 euro for each record...I also saw  a birth record for a Sarah Higgins but it was in 1854...Do you have any more info on the family? http://www.rootsireland.ie/ Sara C. ________________________________ From: James Twycross <jtw11958@bigpond.net.au> To: irl-wicklow@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, June 19, 2011 7:12:43 AM Subject: Re: [IRL-WICKLOW] Look up Thank you so much Sara, that was very kind of you and greatly appreciated. Tell me about the Irish Family History Foundation Index, how does one access it. If a Patrick Higgins is listed in the Index it certainly warrants a closer look, particularly as his marriage fits the time era. Many thanks from Melbourne, Australia. -----Original Message----- From: irl-wicklow-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:irl-wicklow-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Sara b Carroll Sent: 19 June 2011 21:02 To: irl-wicklow@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [IRL-WICKLOW] Look up Hello,   I did find the name Patick Higgins in the Irish Family History Foundation Wicklow Marriage Index(1846 and 1851).  There was no listing for a Jane Hughes...Maybe Jane came from a surrounding county and they were married there...or they didn't record the marriage...a few possibilities Sara C. ________________________________ From: James Twycross <jtw11958@bigpond.net.au> To: irl-wicklow@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, June 19, 2011 1:06:39 AM Subject: [IRL-WICKLOW] Look up Hello list renewed my subscription after a few years break as new information has come to hand that might help break down my brickwall. My quest is to find any records relating to Jane Hughes who married a farmer named Patrick Higgins, I don't know when but possibly before 1850 as their first child Sarah was born in that year. There is a possibility that Jane lived at Dunganstown some four miles from Wicklow. I have found two people names Hughes that may be connected, the first is Mary Hughes at Ballycapple Hill, Dunganstown and the second is Thomas Hughes at Ballymurrin Lower, Dunganstown - both details came from the Griffith Valuation records. Is there any kind person out there who can help me solve this eleven year search. Thank all you wonderful people. James. *************************************** 1- Only leave in the body of the mail what is relevant to your answer 2- Change the SUBJECT LINE to suit the body of your own Mail to List. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-WICKLOW-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message *************************************** 1- Only leave in the body of the mail what is relevant to your answer 2- Change the SUBJECT LINE to suit the body of your own Mail to List. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-WICKLOW-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message *************************************** 1- Only leave in the body of the mail what is relevant to your answer 2- Change the SUBJECT LINE to suit the body of your own Mail to List. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-WICKLOW-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message *************************************** 1- Only leave in the body of the mail what is relevant to your answer 2- Change the SUBJECT LINE to suit the body of your own Mail to List. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-WICKLOW-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
