The townland was in Clonenagh and Clonegheen Civil Parish Parish in Queen's County (which was renamed County Laois in 1922), Ireland. If her address was on the east side of Raheen Townland, then she was born in Raheen Catholic Parish.
MARRIAGE
Anne married John Higgins in Raheen Townland in 1833. The event was recorded in Roman Catholic parish records in the Diocese Kildare and Leighlin. They owned a house and leased six acres of land two miles away to the east, in Colt Townland. Anne and John had a daughter, Eliza, who married Richard Byrne, and a son, Thomas, who remained single. Anne and John Higgins may also have had two additional sons, Denis and Jeremiah.
DEATH
The death record of John Higgins reported that he was married when he died in 1882 in Colt Townland. So Anne Grant Higgins died after 1882 and probably also in Colt Townland in the Clonenagh and Clonegheen Civil Parish in Queen's County, Ireland. The Catholic Parish was Raheen.
