Hi Mary.
The main name would be Annabella Higgins, born about 1985. Have tried for years to find her birth, with no success. Her parents, John Higgins and Sarah Johnston, Lurgan. Annabella died age 18, about a month after my father was born. Her married name was Dickson. I've her marriage and death details, it's the birth that's the fly in the ointment.
Two or three of her siblings are proving equally hard to find. Is it possible those entries are missing from the indices ?.
Thanks for the reply Mary,
Regards,
Dixie

Hi Mary.
Possible relative of Annabella's father, cousin perhaps. 
Her dad, John Higgins, born 10 Jan., 1868, Campbell's Court, Lurgan. 
His dad, Thomas Higgins, born about 1831.
His mum, Margaret Mulholland, born about 1831.

I'll save your info, perhaps it will connect along the line.
Many thanks Mary,
Dixie

Hi Mary.
I got John Higgins parents marriage awhile back. I also got a sister for him, Margaret, church baptism records, 18 Sept 1861. Parish Church, Parish of Shankill, Lurgan.
A brother William, civil records, born 28 Nov 1864.
Is William the one you got ?.
Afraid I've neglected this branch of the family tree and now have a bit of catching up to do.
Thanks for the help Mary, it's appreciated.
Regards,
Dixie
