Help with the Higgs family

[Betty.W]

Could anyone please tell me when Charles Higgs (born c1857) and Sarah Murray (born c1854) also they had a daughter Ellen who was born in 1889. Unfortunately there were two Ellen Higgs's born during the same quarter in 1889 - who were the parents of these two Ellens ?

Can you give some info re birthplaces please?  Think some of the first line of your post is missing

There is no Marriage on freebmd between a Charles Higgs and a Sarah Murray

You can use the GRO website to check mmn for births

Birth places for Ellen Higgs
Ellen iggs    Islington and Ellen Higgs Holborn

There is an 1891 entry for an Edward and Sarah Higgs both 19 - unmarried brother and sister.  A one year old Ellen Higgs b St Pancras is shown as niece to Edward who is head of household.  Sarah could be her mother which means Ellen was illegitimate

Get the 2 birth references from freebmd then use the link above to check for mmn.  One will have no mmn which is probably the 1891 entry

I have already excluded this one. Sarahs maiden name was Murray.
