This MAY BE the correct THOMAS and ELLEN HIGGINSON , there is in Atherton a Thomas described as a beer seller instead of a labourer , We do know that Thomas Higginson's mother , Sarah , was a beer seller BUT ALSO see 1871 Census where there is the correct age gap between siblings : Thomas , her brother and this Sarah .
