- George Stephen Higgins, a Nilgiri coffee planter. THIS is the George Stephen Higgins (d. 14 Jan 1885) whose descendant Aubrey King was researching - the burial flagged as 'expected later in the register'. Of the same family as St. Stephen's old No. 642 / new No. 377 Ann Higgins (wife of William Higgins, d. 1877). Per the family note: William George Higgins came to India in 1832; Fanny Elizabeth Higgins (née Farnsworth) d. 1936. He is named on an 1893 family memorial inside St Stephen's Church alongside siblings Thomas William, Joseph, Ann Charlotte, Ellen Sophia and Alexander Higgins (Kae Lewis database).
