Higgs Family tree

Tue 8th Apr 2008 | by Nick

Hi I am researching the HIGGS branch of my family tree, I am a decendant of Joshua HIGGS b London 1820, who emigrated to Australia with his family in 1852.I believe his father, also named Joshua originally came from "Sunnyside" Cold Ash Thatcham Berkshire. Do you have any additional information about the HIGGS family , any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Trevor Sullivan (Hobart, Tasmania, Australia)

Thanks for the info regarding Sampson HIGGS , I believe he was the Grandfather of Joshua HIGGS who emigrated to Australia. The only info I have about Sampson HIGGS is that he was born in 1762 , married Ann CORDEROY in 1789 and died in 1829.
