I don't know if this will help you or not, but I am looking for a George
Higgins from
Monaghan Co. and came across a census in Phila. Pa. 1850 where a George
Higgins was living with a family of Hasletts. Very hard to read so there may be some mistakes. Samuel 46, shoemaker, from Ireland, Sarah 40, John 22, born in
Penna. Mathew 21, a salesman, born in Pa., David 17, shoemaker born Pa., Andrew 10, L--- age 6, Harry 11/12 born Pa., then there is Robert
Thomson 18, shoemaker born in Ireland, Thomas
McClay 30, also shoemaker, Ireland, George
Higgins, shoemaker, Ireland, William
Moore 48, shoemaker, Ireland, Charlotte
Johnson 11, Pa., and
Sophia Carr 17, Ireland. Hope this helps.
