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

I think they must be related, same area, same names, Henry Titus Higgs was a Glaszier on one of the marriages.

[Margaret in Burton]

Probably connected somewhere if you go far enough back, cousins maybe.

Both Tituses (is that the right spelling??!) are on the 1851 census - one b 1829 and the other 1843 (from memory).

Roast pork is waiting.................

Maybe we should be getting the archivist who helped John Prescott to help with the Higgs problem? Right up her street!

I'm dribbling at the roast pork too!!!

I was up until 2.30am playing around with things and have got absolutely nowhere

The Titus I found is the one who died in Sep qr 1879 aged 50 in the Hartley Witney district. His children and widow can be found afterwards. Frances is a nurse away from home on the 1881 census.

This thread is giving me a headache, never mind being able to work out what's going on.
