    2. Subj: [ENG-SHROP] Strange look up request Date: 2/8/02 2:24:38 PM !!!First Boot!!! From:    Amonetone@aol.com To:    ENG-SHROPSHIRE-PLUS-L@rootsweb.com I work in a charity shop and we’ve been given a very old family bible that I’ d like to return to family members. I'm currently emailing all and sundry about it! The name inside the front cover, to whom I believe the bible belonged, is Sarah Ann HIGGS. Her address is given as 26 Richard Street, Leicester (England). It’s a handwritten notation dated 1866. In the births section, the following is also handwritten: Sarah Ann HIGGS, born June 11 1841. Margaret Ann HIGGS, Born 23 July 1846. It’s a Cassell’s Illustrated Family Bible, very big and absolutely beautiful, still in it’s original cover. There is another handwritten notation further in the book but the only words I can read are the surname HIGGS and possibly a date or price. Could somebody look these ladies or their address up on any census they might have?  It might help to track descendants down. Many thanks! Linda Derham Listowner
