There's a David Higgenson arriving in Liverpool on 20th Sept 1920 with Elizabeth, going to 101 Brockcliffe (?) St, Blackburn on Ancestry. His proffesion is Cotton Spinner.
If this is the correct David then that would have him emmigrating between 1911 and 1920.

I have also found a departure on FMP in 1959 - he was coming from Huntingdon, does that match up?
This David has the 28th jan 1887 as DOB and is single (but the record states that widowers and divorcées are also marked as single). This record also states that David was a Canadian citizen.

Hope this helps
