Keeping it in the family *UPDATED - now with birth certs*
Okay - here goes. I suspect there may be something slightly dubious about a relationship in a tree I'm doing for a friend. I'm probably missing something fairly obvious so thought I'd throw it all at you guys and see if you can spot what I'm missing....
Henry Titus Higgs and Jane Godden married 29 September 1836 They have three children: Harriet Ann Higgs born 1838 Hartley Westpall, Hampshire Ellen Emma Higgs born 1840 Hartley Westpall Hampshire Titus Higgs born 1843 Heckfield Berkshire Henry Titus Higgs dies in 1845 and Jane remmaries to Alfred Halford. They are on 1851 census living in Hartley Westpall with her father HO107; Piece: 1681; Folio: 361; Page: 16 Ellen Emma appears to marry in 1858 in Colchester, Essex to a John Shaw. This is backed up by 1861 and 1871 census: RG9; Piece: 431; Folio: 65; Page: 6 RG10; Piece: 1195; Folio: 83; Page: 17 John works in the Army Hospital Corps Their children: Henrietta Rosa Shaw 1861 born Aldershot John Titus Shaw 1864 (can't read birthplace) William Henry Shaw 1866 born Barbados Ann Shaw 1867 born South Wales ???? Dock Meanwhile - Titus Higgs has disappeared but re-appears in 1881 living in Newark, Notts, also a member of the military. Titus' family on 1881 are: Ellen Emma Higgs, wife, born Hartley Westpall, c1841, Dressmaker WIlliam Henry Higgs, son, c1866, Barbados Annie Higgs, daur, c1867, Newark Notts Edwin Charles Higgs, son, c1880, Newark Notts. In 1891 Titus and Ellen Emma are in Jersey, still down as married and with "son" Edwin Charles although Ellen is now saying she was born in Colchester, Essex. Then I lose them all again (although still looking for the children at the minute). Normally I'd just put it down to enumerator error and write it off but it's the new child born 1880 that's got me thinking. Am I way off the mark? I doubt I'll ever be able to prove it I'm just intrigued by it all Z x

So it looks like he eventually married his sister!
It'd be interesting to see who they both named as father on the cert |
