Hi Micwood,
Just came across this thread and saw your query on Mary Jane Higgins. I'm her grandson and was delighted to come across her family history.
Mary did indeed marry Dan O'Sullivan (from Gowlane, Lispole, Co. Kerry) in Camberwell, London 1939. Their first son was Brian O'Sullivan born 1940 in London. They returned to Ireland in 1940 and settled in Dingle, Co Kerry where they had 3 more sons John, Daniel (my father) and Michael.
Brian (died 1975), John and Michael all emigrated to Springfield MA in the US while Daniel moved to Dublin.
Mary died in 1991 and is buried in Balinclare cemetery near Lispole.
I would greatly appreciate if you could send on any old photos or certs that you may have related to the Higgins family. Let me know if you need any more info on Mary.
Many thanks,
Brian O'Sullivan
