Kathleen, my great-great grandmother, Catherine Higgins, married Thomas Carrick in Lancashire in about 1859, although both of them were originally from Galway, Ireland. They arrived in Sydney in 1880 with their five children, Mary-Ann, Honora, Patrick, Thomas and Catherine. Does any of this sound familiar?Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17642075483281050695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740811078708462571.post-29714211976918113162011-06-11T09:04:46.031+10:002011-06-11T09:04:46.031+10:00Wish I could help, but I can only echo the anguish...Wish I could help, but I can only echo the anguished cry.

I've been reading your blog now for awhile because I love how you focus on family stories... i.e. history in a microcosm. I only noticed today that one of your research interests includes a Higgins family. This is a complete shot in the dark, but my grandfather told me that he had Higgins cousins in Australia (I'm not sure where they were from because his mother was from Ireland and his father was from England)... Related names might be Hill, Scott, Flynn, Knight or Kelley. No other details, but I thought "why not ask?"Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235337888646553703noreply@blogger.com
