Hello Judith
It is 6 years since your last message regarding your James Higgins born 8 September 1908.
I have recently been investigating Dominick Higgins and Catherine Carty who married on 16 January 1901 at Kilmovee RC Church. I noticed that Dominick was living at Uggool/Egool at the time of his marriage and Catherine was living at Shammerdoo. The marriage record states that Dominick's father was James Higgins who was deceased at 16 January 1901. I have now found Dominick's Baptism record which was on 8 November 1857 at Kilmovee RC Church. His parents were James Higgins and Bridget Higgins (maiden name). The Sponsors were Patrick Higgins and Sabina Cafferky. They were living at "Transport Strickland". Do you know what "Transport Strickland" is? It seems to only appear on the Baptisms between 1857 and 1859.
The James Higgins and Bridget Griffin who are in Uggool, Kilmovee in 1901 are my Great Grandparents.
I think Dominick's mother Bridget Higgins may be related to James Higgins (maybe his sister). Dominick's father James Higgins maybe related to the Patrick Higgins who is married to Mary Gara and living in Uggool in 1901 (maybe his brother).
I have also found another Patrick Higgins who married Mary Higgins in 1856 and they were living in Uggool prior to 1901 and look like one of them is related to my James Higgins (probably Mary Higgins is his sister.)
Have you found any more on your James Higgins son of Dominick and Catherine? Have you found the Marriage Record of Dominick's parents James Higgins and Bridget Higgins. It would have been before 1857 and I haven't been able to locate it yet.
Pat Berry (nee Higgins)
