Title: 1851 - Blackburn - Higham, Christopher (Completed)
Post by: Paulamc on Thursday 21 August 08 07:18 BST (UK)

Hello,

I am looking for Christopher Higham and any other members of his household in 1851, probably in Blackburn.

He was born in 1825.

In 1861 he is living at Strawberry Bank/St Andrews Street and there were at least 3 Higham families in a row there.

Unfortunately he may be indexed as "C. Higham".

Thanks in advance,

Paula Mc.

Hi

Where was he born?

In 1861 - was he married and were any children b pre-1851

If so - would you include wife's details plus children

Hi Paula,

Unfortunately no sign of him under any guise and C Higham was female and married to Joseph  :'(

You may already have this, but his burial is on www.lan-opc.org.uk at Balderstone along with Margaret and son Christopher (there may be others).   

Carole, he was born Blackburn and married in 1856 at St. Marys, Blackburn.  His father is James and mother Betty.  James is still on the 1851 but no Christopher with him.

Regards,
Mo

Hi Carole and Mo,

Many thanks for checking - looks like his 1851 whereabouts continues to remain a mystery.

Regards,
Paula
