27 June 1896, when William Higgins, son of the late Bernard Higgins, married Minnie Eddowes at Gwersyllt near Wrexham, he was 22 and Minnie 20. However, later it appears there was 6 years between them !
Also, 6 April 1896 William Henry Higgins (22), son of Wiliam (both colliers) married Mary Elizabeth Smith (23), also at Gwersyllt. Perhaps they wanted to confuse us !
In 1901, William and Annie Higgins (29 & 23) were still at Gwersyllt, Wrexham, Denbigshire with Bessie (5) and Bernard (2)
In 1911, Minnie, Head, 32 had been married 14 years and had 5 children (all alive). William and one child (Minnie born 1903) were missing
