Hi all,
I am new to the forum and would really appreciate if anyone could help me with a frustrating block I have with my partners family. I have managed to locate quite a lot on his mothers side but am at a total loss on his fathers side. His father was born Martin Higgins in Atherton, Lancashire in Feb 1925. His mother is called Mary Higgins but there is no father. Martin has sadly passed away and as he left the family home while my partner was very young they didnt have a relationship. Since his death we are aware that he had three sisters one of whom was called Margaret but I am unsure if Mary Higgins was unmarried when she had Martin and that his sisters were as the result of a marriage and therefore had different surnames from him. I know that Mary had an address of 50 Cowper Street in Leigh in 1925 but he was born at 702 Leigh Road in Atherton. If anyone can shed any light on this side of the family or have any suggestions to help me it would be really helpful.
Thank you
