Martha GOATER marriage

[DRH123]

Hi Maria,

Are you interested in the Higgins side of her family as well?  I have recently traced a friend's family back to a William Higgins, born Englishcombe (near Bath) about 1778. He appears to be a brother of Sarah Goater (nee Higgins). They are in adjacent houses in Englishcombe in 1851.

Miriam, I am also in New Zealand, a descendant of Martha Goater who married Charles Baker. I also have the census of this couple and their family who were living in London in 1851. Have you made any more discoveries regarding this family?

Hello DRH, can you tell me the name of the street that Sarah Goater, nee Higgins was living in at the time of the 1851 census when she was living adjacent to her brother William Higgins? Thank you, Marion

Hi Marion,
Welcome to Rootschat.
There is no Street name on the Census at all, just Englishcomb.

Do you want full details?

[MJHNZ]
