Hello….I am from Saskatchewan, Canada. My Grandfather George Taylor Prince was born in Parwich and came to Canada in 1903. He left behind his parents,Thomas and Martha Prince and siblings, Sarah Jane, Annie, Martha, Louisa and half siblings, Fanny Hadfield, Clifford and William Hadfield.
Annie Prince married Eli Higgenbbottom and had seven children: Horace, Fred, Albert, Annie, Jessie, Harold and Hubert. Would anyone have information on surviving relatives of Annie and Eli Higgenbottom’s children. Any information or suggestions on how to locate would be greatly appreciated. (I have come to a dead end on Ancestry.com)
I thank you in advance for any help….Sorry, I meant to include the information that my Grandfather George Taylor Prince and his family are from the Parwich area.

Hi Charlaine, The Higginbottoms and Fanny Hadfield’s family were all born in the New Mills area. After the death of Martha’s second husband John Hadfield, Martah and most of her surviving children moved to New Mills area and descendants seemed to have remained in the High Peak area generally. I haven’t any record of any of them returning to the Parwich area, although there are other branches and more far flung relatives of the Princes still here.
Charlaine, though not dealing with your specific question, have you seen the article in the Parwich Local History Society News Quarterly, see P. 7 of http://parwichhistory.org/NewsQuarterly1.pdf . There is also further information at http://parwichhistory.org/NewsQuarterly-Supplement.pdf
This takes you back two generations from Thomas and Martha, but we had not then established the origins of his grandfather Henry Prince who married Elizabeth Webster here in 1817.
However Fiona has done a lot more work on the Prince family since that was published in 2008.
Thank you Peter….I have sent off some emails and will check in to the sites you have shown. I have a good feeling that I will find them soon! Thank you Fiona as well….I am so fortunate and thankful for all the work you have done on my long lost family 🙂
My grandmother was Annie Higginbottom nee Prince and lived with my great aunt Sarah Jane in New Mills after her husband Eli died. Their eldest daughter was my mother Annie, I would be happy to be contacted by Charlene Prince.
I have forwarded your contact details to Charlaine. I am sure she will be in touch with you.
Awesome! Thank you again Fiona 🙂
Many thanks for forwarding my details to Charmaine.Much apreciated
