Higham Family look up

[Smee]

Hi

Could some one please do any look ups from 1841 through to 1871 for a Thomas Higham. He was born abt 1840 possibly in Surrey

Thomas was married to a Lousia E (26yrs) in the early 1860's and by 1873 had three sons Thomas 6yrs, Robert 4yrs and John 1yr. Thomas and Lousia E emmigrated to New Zealand aboard the Helen Denny in 1874. Thomas Higham was a carpenter. Last address was shown as Surrey

Sorry about the lack of details, hoping someone can help.

Hi Julie

Wow.....and double Wow

What you have found confirms a few things that i hunted down at the local library today, in fact you found heaps more, you gave me Thomas Highams paretns and siblings as well as a surname for his wife as well as a date fror the marraige.....All of which i didn't have. If you could just see my smile now It seems that the flood gates have finally opened.

This have been really wonderful, i have got so much to work with now. All i need to do is find out what happened to everyone else in the UK and here in New Zealand.

Many many thanks for your help. My father in law is going to be one very happy man when he gets all this information.
