My name is Peter Higginbotom. I am searching for descendants of the marriage of Fanny Higginbottom and Alfred Wake King. Fanny was born 4 Nov 1862 in Kadina South Australia. Her parents were Clifford Richard & Adeline Mary. Alfred was born 30 May 1862 in Nairne South Australia. They were married 13 Aug 1884 in St John Anglican Church in Auburn South Australia. They had 5 children Gertrude Myrtle, Stella Blanche, Emily Maude, Alfred Glanville and Vinetta Thelma. A deceased relative of the Higgibottom family had passed on to another person infomation which showed the King's had moved to W.A. Quite by accident I stumbled on the Shep's Place web site and found the King family. I am using this forum to see if I can make a connection to a living relative. I am a grand-son of Albert Higginbottom who was one of Fanny's brothers. I am currently doing my family tree history.
king/Higginbottom family
Hi Peter, I am a descendant of the King family and am new to Sheps place. I believe from family records that Alfred and Fanny went to WA. Alfred died in 1954 in Brookton. I don't have any living contacts but Maude's daughter Dorothy Montgomery married a Mr Wheeler in 1948 and they had two children - Janice and Robert. That may be a starting point by looking at electoral roles for a Robert Wheeler. I believe that Alfred and Fanny also had a son Ernest . He is the eldest of the family and married in 1912. I do have some other sketchy info on that family but hope this helps with your quest to 'find your family' Best wishes........Lesley
