| Personal Notes: |
|
Charles William married Agnes Cassel in Charters Towers (Her parents originally from Scotland and married 18.6.1874 in Edinburgh Scotland.) Agnes was the youngest of 5 children at time of birth. I'm sure she had a younger sister Daisy too. I remember her from my childhood. She was struck by lightening while sitting in the back of an open carriage when she was about 29. (Kind of information that fascinates children!) She remained unmarried.
Charles Harold Higgins studied art at the Julien Ashton Art School. At a later stage when circumstances necessitated he worked with his father who owned the Newsagency at Annandale in Sydney (he and Agnes lived above the shop) in Booth Street. I can remember visiting there. My grandfather died in the early sixties. He was living in a nursing home in Strathfield which was within walking distance from our home. Agnes passed away 10-15 years prior to her husband. |
