Theres a person in that 1881 census to do with a solicitors  office -
remember Stanley N Vigers b.1865 -  he was a Solicitor -  he may have been a relative of John -  what do you think??

1891 census

47 St. Stephens Ave Hammersmith

Sarah aged 58 Widow living on own means
Herbert aged 28 Registered Surgeon
Jessie aged 21 living on own means
Florence aged 16  Scholar
Annie Downs 21 servant b. Portsmouth Hants

I couldn't find Herbert in 1901 -  I wonder if he went to the Boer War ??

Apparently the National Archives has service lists for the Boer War available and the Royal College of Surgeons has lists of surgeons

OK -
I was checking the historical directories and I found a listing for
Higginson and Vigers - both in the Post office London Directory and the Court Directory but it was dated 1882

Charles Robert Vigers in each case
3 Westminster Chambers Victoria Street SW

also John Vigers
3 Portugal St Grosvenor St W

I don't know why but I went back to the Berks FHS and I found a Bunch of Higginsons  John 1790
                 Thomas 1822
                  Ralph 1864
                  Harold 1899

I wonder if they are related to the Vigers and maybe John and Thomas Higginson are contempories of John Vigers - but that's as far as I can go today -
I can't think how to tie them up -  can anybody else ? - after all it is Friday the 13th................

Heres something else interesting - then I'm done for the day..............

Now - is there really such a big difference between English and American definitions ?
