hi,

I belong to a mailing list and some members are researching the STINSON family.

I have posted a message and will put you in touch with anyone that shows an interest.

All the events you mention happened before Births, Marriages and Deaths were recorded by the authorities, but you could contact "Ulster Ancestry" to see if there are any Church records for your ancestors marriage and births. They have a website at...

If I find any further information I will post it here.

Regards,

I have no documentation for Jane Higgins, just family oral tradition that she was Irish and married William Stinson(Sr) in Enniskillen.
