Unfortunately, the Frenchpark RC records start in 1865 so no baptismal records would be available for the children of Bryan Higgins and Bridget Mahon.

The 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Kilcorkey civil parish does show a Bryan Higgins in Tullly townland.

Roots Ireland had a transcription of the 1868 death record for Bryan Higgins at age 70. His daughter in law, Bridget Glynn, was the informant.

I tried to find death records for Peter Higgins and his wife Bridget. There were none in Tully but I did find a couple in Ratra townland with death records. Do you know if Peter moved to Ratra?
