Looking for any information on Mary Elizabeth Higgins who married Frederick Arthur Floyd in 1904 in Blackpool
I have a birth which I think is her:
Births Dec 1874
HIGGINS Mary Elizabeth W.Derby 8b 519
I have the marriage certificate for Mary and Frederick and her father was William Higgins, a coal merchant.
Can anyone help with any further information on either Mary or William (I have all the info for Frederick)
Thankyou

That's great! I had her father as Patrick Higgins a shoemaker from Ireland before receiving the marriage certificate...totally wrong...although it looks like her father was from Ireland after all.
Thankyou :)

On her marriage her name is Mary Bessie Higgins and the witnesses were Thomas & Eliza Carter. I have found the same family in 1881 as your 1891...no Carters there either though....
