All, Adding my name to the ROLLCALL list and asking for help on a look up. There are two Higgins' I know of who lived at one time in Brooklyn. They are related in some way. HIGGINS, Patrick, lived at 57 Washington Street, either Brooklyn or New York City, 1863 and possibly until 1865, according to the entry for him in the Emigrants' Saving Bank ledger. He was listed as a longshoreman in the ledger and would not have had his family with him at the time. He was from the Boyle area of County Roscommon, Ireland. HIGGINS, Miss Nellie, of Brooklyn who was visiting with her relatives in Decatur, Illinois in August, 1927 according to a newspaper article. dated 14 Aug 1927. I do not know anything more about this person unfortunately but would like a listing of all Nellie or Ellen or Margaret Higgins that were single or appear to have been single. The 1930 Brooklyn census lists a family on Kent Avenue and I have given that informtion below. Can you find more about them? I have located a Higgins family in Brooklyn in the 1930 Federal census living on Kent Avenue. Michael Higgins, age 74, and wife Mary, age 70, both born in the Irish Free State (no County given, immigrated to US in 1882), with children, all single, Nellie, age 49, William, age 37, and Herbert, age 25. Also next on the page is a Richard Higgins, age 28, with wife Martha, age 26, and daughter Alice, age 6. Richard was born in New York and is probably also a son of Michael. Alice may still be alive; if so, she would be about 84. I'd like someone to do a lookup for either of these people in city directories and/or phone books as I am brickwalled for Patrick Higgins; I do not know siblings or parents names for him, nor exactly where and when he was born other than marriage records and birth records for his children are all from the Boyle RC church in County Roscommon. He was my ggrandfather.
