Hi Pat

The only baptism record I could find for Michael Barrett in Ballina around 1906 on www.rootsireland.ie/ was this one:

Name: Michael Barrett Date of Birth: 11-Sep-1903 Date of Baptism: 17-Sep-1903 Address: Ardnaree Parish/District: KILMOREMOY/BALLINA Gender: Male County MAYO Denomination: Roman Catholic Father: John Barrett Mother: Ann McGlynn Occupation: Sponsor 1 / Informant 1: Robert Barrett Sponsor 2 / Informant 2: Catherine Fitzgerald

I couldn't find Annie or Francis I'm afraid.

You might want to have a look at the Irish Censuses (free online) which have 41 Higgins in Swineford, Mayo in 1911.

FreeBMD shows a possible marriage for your Frank and Anne in Salford district (Greater Manchester/Lancashire) , could this be correct ?

Quarter and Year : Jun 1937
Registration District : Salford
Bride : Annie Higgins    
Grooms : Frank  Murphy
Volume : 8d    / Page : 795     

If this looks promising then the marriage cert from GRO UK might be a good place to start your search, as it should include father's names and occupations.
