No Higginsons on the CD I have.

Marion

Thanks for trying, I appreciate it. Are there any Higginsons listed as they will definitely be related.

Regards

Archie

hi Archie.

Sorry dont see any of them.Of couse they maybe had their own family plot out with Larkhall.
If there are any other names through marriage ie Jessi Lillias or Margaret. They could be there.

Thank you both. I would say that the Kilwinning one is my James as his half-sister (my granny) was born in Kilwinning and his parents were married in Kilwinning. The family later moved to Dalserf (Larkhall) and it was very likely that he was resident there when he enlisted.

Your help is much appreciated.

Archie

Is he remembered on the Dreghorn war memorial? If so, it might give his regiment, which would cut down the number of possibles.
