6. Charles Higgins
(Unknown1)
was
born Bet. 1790 - 1795 in Summerhill, Co. Meath, Ireland, and
died Bef. 1879 in Summerhill, Co. Meath,
Ireland.
He married Catherine Byrne.
She was born Abt. 1797 in Summerhill, Co. Meath, Ireland4,
and
died December 31, 1879 in Agher, Summerhill, Co. Meath, Ireland4.
Notes for Charles Higgins:
The relationship between Charles, Margaret,
& Ambrose Higgins, all of whom are later found in Moy townland,
and the other Higgins, associated with Clondoogan townland, is a
"best guess". There is, however, ample evidence to suggest
that the Clondoogan family was related to the Moy family and the
this "guess" is likely correct. These two towns border
each other. There are common names in both families as well as
common sponsors for baptisms. Charles Higgins' wife was sister to
Lawrence Fullam's wife. Lawrence's daughter, Elinor, married Thomas
Higgins, Charles' presumed brother.
Perhaps the most compelling evidence is the
death record for a Catherine Higgins in Agher. Catherine was 82 at
the time (1879). Present at the time of her death is Michael
Higgins. This is most likley her son given the ages. Seven years
later, Michael Higgins dies and present at his death is a cousin,
William Higgins. Michael is 63 at the time making his birth year
about 1823. If William is a cousin, he would be the son of a brother
of Catherine's husband. Could this be the same Catherine who was
married to Charles Higgins? If so, William would have to be Thomas
Higgins's son, brother of Laurence Higgins.
There is no record of a Michael Higgins
being born to Charles and Catherine, but there is a gap of several
years between Simon (1821) and Ellen (1826) when Michael could have
been born and which would fit with his age. It would not be unusual
to not be able to find the record as those that do still exist are
in marginal condition at best. If this is all correct, Charles would
have been an older brother of Thomas, so likely born in the early
1790s.
When one looks at the entire body of
evidence, I think this all makes sense.
Children
of Charles Higgins and Catherine Byrne are:
22 i. Margaret Higgins,
born November 1817 in Moy,
Summerhill, Co. Meath, Ireland5;
died Unknown.
Baptism: November 12, 1817, Moy,

born Abt. 1823 in
Summerhill, Co. Meath, Ireland6;

1886 in Agher, Summerhill, Co. Meath, Ireland6.
Notes for Michael Higgins:
There's no record of Michael Higgins
being born or christened to/by Charles & Catherine. However,
the age fits and there is a gap in the births for which there are
records for, Simon born in 1821 and Ellen born in 1826. Michael
would have been born between these two.

She was born Abt. 1813 in Summerhill, Co. Meath, Ireland15,
and
died April 08, 1886 in Clondoogan, Summerhill, Co. Meath, Ireland15.
Notes for Thomas Higgins:
Although the connection with the famous
O'Higgins, Ambrosio O'Higgins and Bernardo O'Higgins, is not
definite, it is possible. Ambrosio O'Higgins was actually born
Ambrose Higgins. The O' was added later by Ambrose himself. Also,
there is some debate as to where Ambrosio was born. Although some
texts give his place of birth as Co. Sligo, many others list Co.
Meath, specifically, in or near Summerhill parish in Co. Meath. This
is the same parish that Thomas Higgins was from.

Notes for Laurence Higgins:

parish is Summerhill. Clondoogan is the townland.
In an email dated 2/16/02, Coleen Higgins
wrote: "Lawrence was Head Gardener at St. Joseph's School for
the deaf. He evidently had a long beard. He supervised the
deaf/mute laborers and when it was time for his lunch they would
sign "long beard" to Mary so she would know to bring his
food! The story on Lawrence is that he was one of four brothers:
Ambrose (my father's godfather), Timothy, and supposedly
Bernardo"
