Very pleased to get your reply. I am now sure, after seeing your evidence in the thread, Samuel Jones and both Richard Higginsons are the same as in our tree. It confirmed what I'd thought. I am the researcher in the family, my husband Stephen is interested, but he is not in the best of health and is not the best researcher! So it goes through me. I like doing it, but it's the time I lack. We have latterly focussed, when we've had the time, on his surname which is from Germany and Denmark. I was looking back at the contents of the family research box files as my daughter wanted ideas of family names (she's expecting another baby), so that set me off! Hope the following ancestor 'list' helps: Samuel Jones> Richard > William Alexander>Olive (Steve's mother)>Stephen Arthur (my husband). Our Richard Jones (horsekeeper) married Kitty/Kate Higginson (father Richard Higginson). So how do you fit in and whereabouts are you - in the US I presume (we have been to the US and Canada a number of times)? Steve was born in St Asaph, Wales and brought up in Liverpool from age 3. We live in Yorkshire. Steve has cousins from his father's side around the St Asaph area, we visit them and we will now be able to go to see them via the farm, now we know for sure where the Higginson/Jones were!
I firstly need to read all the threads properly and collate our evidence and attach copies to you (if helpful), however my grandson is staying so no time really and should really be doing my tax return this week
I will also be busy tomorrow, so don't hold your breath! I would love access to your tree, that would be great, but at the moment I don't have the paid membership, I stopped when I wasn't getting time to use it. So I may pay a couple months if I need to?
Thanks and TTFN
