I am looking for any type of documentation that puts by Great Grandfather John Higgins and his brother in Dunlavin. I am told they were born there but i have not been able to document it. John was born in 1835 +/- 1 year and Hugh in 1853 +/- 1 year. Their parents were Patrick Higgins and Mary Foster
Hi, without a birth or baptismal record for someone, it is hard to know the true age. Is it possible these two could be your John and Hugh?

Hi,
I was not able to find baptism records for John and Hugh but their brother William's obituary in the San Francisco Examiner identifies Dunlavin, Wicklow as his residence in Ireland.
