Hello Stanley The Higgin's went into Tallow in a big way and manufactured soap and candles employing numerous staff in there businesses and all had servants in their homes.

Hello Doc

You really confused me today wishing me good afternoon and telling me it was 12pm when it was only 11.00am just a minor glitch but thought I would let you know

Good morning Stanley Thanks for the information as to why profession from agriculture to weaving. Tallow must have been the Higgin way forward as between 1831/1833 they moved to Manchester/Salford and were all Tallow Chandelers.

I think John Higgin's was the forrester at Pendle Forest but I don't know for sure can anyone confirm this. ...
