the H could be Hannah

No birth registrations anywhere for Elizabeth Anna Higginson

To go back further I think you need their marriage certificate which would give the name of each ones father.

SULLIVAN Herbert Elham 2a 975

Jan, You beat me to it......:-))

I just think the transcriber was taking an educated guess with the middle initial - the original is very hard to read.

Doesn't really help, but just for the record (middle initial could be anything looking at original):

Surest way would be to get the marriage cert to ascertain their fathers' names.
Incidentally, Elizabeth's birthplace is Sandbach! I think the transcriber was having a bad day.
Jan

Can we go back any further- to the parents of Herbert sullivan or Elizabeth Higginson?

I love a good rummage myself - is this a proper word or Brummie-speak??
Jan

thanks for all the help

I just found Marjorie on the free search too, then discovered she'd already been found.
