There's 'he' in Section 11, just below the mystery name, and that has an 'e' like the one in 'White'.

So there is - well spotted !

There is a James Higgins with a wife Winifred Drury having children in Tibohine-Fairymount in Roscommon around 1839. That might be worth keeping a note of.

Could you tell me where you got that information?

I have an accidental subscription to Find My Past currently and cannot find any baptisms for years around 1839 with parents James Higgins & Winifred Drury there. Then again, I cannot find my paternal grandfather's 1874 baptism in Co. Galway, details of which I already have, but Find My Past do have my maternal grandmother's 1875 baptism in Co. Mayo.

If your information is from RootsIreland, I could take out a one-day subscription with the option of upgrading to a one-month subscription.

Yes, it was rootsireland. There are a number of Higgins/Drury couples in that parish, but I could not find other children of that (James/Winifred) couple, though of course that doesn't mean there were none.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but have you tried searching (in the U.S.) for Dominic’s possible siblings?  I thought an Irish ancestor settled in Canada on his own. RootsChatters and I eventually found out his parents and several siblings also settled in and around his town.

Thanks. I feel a short subscription to RootsIreland coming on.

I have not yet searched for possible siblings of Dominic but probably will eventually..
