Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
The RC records for Nenagh have a gap in their baptismal records from November 1809 to November 1830 so if Winifred was baptized in that parish, the record would not be available. http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0804 Can you clarify was her name Higgins or Rankin?

Hello HIGGINS could be a mistake or perhaps was the birth father of Winifred? He may have died young and the mother remarried as was usually the case. RANKIN is used on Bounty Immigration records.
Neither Higgins or Rankin are names common to the Silvermines, where Winifred was born.
See Winifred's heastone at Gulglong online - The main town Nenagh is spelt Nanagh as in the pronunication.
Good luck. Damian

Sorry,
Winifred and Mary's parents were Michael Rankin and Mary Crowly.Winifred was born c 1820. Unfortunately this seems to be the time period where their are no surviving baptisms.
Are theer any marriage records?. We have done a DNA test to hopefully get a breakthrough that way.
