Hi Ozibird

Many thanks indeed for all your help again.

As as I said I know nothing about her family prior to her marriage to John Higgs.

I will just have to get my grandmothers birth certificate which may shed more light on the matter

Thank you all very much

At least I know that I have the correct surname.
She was my great grandmother.
I really want to find out more about her as I have a photo that my father showed me recently and it would be nice to find out more about her life and family

Hi Elizabeth,

if you look on the 1871 census under waite...you will find all the details of this
family........Trying to trace them in 1881.

Regards Vera

Vera

So if I look on the census for Bradfied I might find some more information about the family??

Ozibird

Yes that is the family I am trying to trace.
I have alot of detail about the Higgs side but nothing about the Wyatt

This is the only one I can find born in Berkshire around the right time but then again this may not be her first marriage

Regards Vera

Can anyone help me trace this lady.

Born around 1868 at either Ulkington or Alkington Berkshire.

She married a John Higgs who came from Basildon Berkshire and they had five children.
John Higgs was born about 1867

Their first child was born around 1894 and the last 3 in the 1900.

I am wondering if I have her correct surname as she doesn't appear on any of the censuses.
She died when she was in her 50's


Thankyou

Elizabeth

Can anyone help please.
