Title: Timothy HIGGINS......Warialda & Inverell
Post by: gloss on Friday 04 September 09 08:00 BST (UK)
Good afternoon to all.

I am looking for a lead for a Timothy Higgins who died in 1867 in Warialda, , New South Wales, Australia . His parents are listed as Dominick and Catherine Higgins.

He married Ann STUART in Armidale, NSW in 1856.

I have been unable to find a shipping record for him and also unable to find a birth in NSW.

I have most of his children by his marriage to Ann listed.

Regards,
Kerry

Hi Gloss,

I am a descendant of Timothy and Ann Higgins. What information in particular were you looking for?? I do have a bit of information about their descendants, but not about their parents.

Regards,
Jess

I think he is part of my family too. I will dig out my paperwork.

Hi Jess,,
This is an old post and it is at times like this I am glad I have the same email address. I am also a descendant of the Higgins line. I have most information on the Higgins line but have never found which ship Timothy arrived on. He does not show up on any shipping sites. I probably need to buy some birth, deaths and marriage certificates!!

Unfortunately it looks like a different family. My Timothy was born in 1870 in Warwick, Qld and died in Nambour in 1922.
 :(

A lot of common names here.

Hi Gloss,

Curiosity is killing me. May I ask where in the line you are?

I am the granddaughter of John Higgins - son of John Higgins - son of Dominick Higgins- son of Timothy and Ann Higgins.

I noticed that you were are also looking into the history of the Bailey family, are you still researching them as well?

Hi Jess,

I am from the Charles Bailey and Sarah Frendon line. My Grandmother was a Bailey. I come from Tenterfield. I have been collecting information for quite a few years now!

Hi Gloss,

My great grandmother was Elizabeth Hannah Higgins (nee Bailey).

I would love to exchange info with you if you are interested? I have only been researching for a few years, but have quite a few things that have been handed down through the family.

Did you ever happen to find when Timothy Higgins arrived in Australia? My uncle has been searching for quite some time, but neither of us have been able to find it.

I have info on the immigration of the Stuart family if you don't have it...

Jess
