Sarah HIGGIN

  General Notes:

From Shirley Harrison:

I am wondering about the marriage you have between Joseph Graham and Sarah Bishop in Carshalton, Surrey in 1824. I have found another marriage between Joseph Graham and Sarah Higgin (who I believe is the daughter of John and Mary Higgin, bapt 4 Jul 1799 at St James, Clerkenwell). The marriage took place 1 Jul 1823 at St James, Clerkenwell, London. Witnesses were J. Higgin, Mary Higgin, W. Graham, Thomas W Higgin.

It would explain why Joseph and Sarah named their first son John Higgin Graham.
