higgs/kendrick

[RachelK]

These are my grandparents surnames, Wolverhampton. (Thomas Ralph Kendrick and Elizabeth Jane Higgs)

Don't suppose anyone else is researching these surnames in the Wolves/Staffs area?

Haven't got very far on these yet. My sister married a Kendrick from a separate Kendrick family, but I expect the families are connected some way back?

[WOLVERHAMPTON HIGGS]

My Grandad has researched our HIGGS line, which dates back to Penn in Wolverhampton in the 1700's. The family stayed in the Penn area (my Dad grew up there). You may belong to a chain from that line. They were mostly Locksmiths. Looking at other posts on here, there are people researching the Bridgnorth HIGGS line and Trysull too (if you do a search on this site for HIGGS), who do not seem to be linked to my line (yet!). 

We've got stuck at John Higgs who died in 1776 in Penn, as his parents names were not recorded (see my recent post). I would like to take up where my Grandad left off and see if I can find out more.

Hi, I don't have an Elizabeth Jane Higgs on my family tree around those dates, do you know her parent's names? Or grandparents? I can see the entry for her birth on Family Search, but no parents names given.

Sorry, I think we have our wires crossed.  I wondered if there was a link with the Higgs line, but I think the details you've given above are the Kendrick/Ralph side - (Thomas Ralph Kendrick mother Lettita).
My family is Higgs.

Sorry I can't help, although I will look out for Kendrick/Ralph names.

Lovely picture x

Ummmm, it appears someone has dug up a post of mine from THIRTEEN years ago lol. If it helps, my grandmother's family (Elizabeth Jane Higgs) are from the Trysull line. They were all Millers, and lived there from the early 1700's.
