My great, great grandfather was Thomas Higginbottom from Salford. On his marriage certificate to Mary Brindle (1857) his father was noted as Joel Higginbottom (I think born about 1794). I have found a marriage for a Joel Higginbottom to a Jemima North at Manchester Cathedral in 1815 on Family Search & not sure if this is my ancester or not - but would be really grateful if anyone has any other information on these names.
Thomas' daughter - my great grandmother - was called Jemima Jane Higginbottom (that's why I think Jemima North was probably a correct guess!) - she was born 23.9.1859 in Salford and she was unmarried when she gave birth to my grandmother Bertha in 1884. These are other names I'd be grateful to get information about if anyone out there could help.Thanks from Lesley in Australia
