But Titus wasn't Henrietta Rosa's father the elusive John Shaw was.

No, sorry, his stepdaughter!!! Whatever - he was still alive in 1881, which was never in question of course, it is where he was before that.....

I'm going for a very long lie down now.....

...and niece

...and 'we' lose sight of Titus between the 1851 census when he is 8 until the 1881 census when he is living with Ellen and also a witness at Henrietta's marriage.

That seems clear.

Titus Higgs married Frances Pardoe Sep qr 1852 Marylebone!

Margaret in Burton · #**146** 17-01-10, 12:20

Titus is still alive in 1891 isn't he? In Jersey.

ElizabethHerts · #**147** 17-01-10, 12:26

Of course, Titus was in the army, wasn't he! AAHHHHHHHHH!

Titus coupled with the surname Higgs can't be a very common name I wouldn't have thought.

Margaret in Burton · #**149** 17-01-10, 12:30

Well I would consider Titus an unusual name but maybe it wasn't.

But:

1851
HIGGS, Titus Head Unmarried M 22 1829 Plumber & Glazier (Employing One Man) Heckfield Hampshire
HIGGS, Harriet Sister Unmarried F 29 1822 Heckfield Hampshire
HIGGS, Ann Sister Unmarried F 24 1827 Heckfield Hampshire VIEW
JORDAN, Ann Visitor Unmarried F 48 1803 (Formerly Househould Servant)
Stone Worcestershire

He has a sister Harriet too but their ages are wrong! No wonder I'm confused!
