Dear Rosemary,
Newlands (Nowlans) McFie and Higgins all appear in my family tree - and all from Orkney. My gt gt grandfather Isaac Newlands (born in 1844 Westray, died 1895, Perth) was the brother of Elen Nowlans (born 1859, Orkney) who married Andrew Higgins (Itinerant Tinsmith). Andrew and Elen had a daughter Elizabeth Higgins, who married her cousin Isaac Newlands (son of Isaac above) who was a horsedealer, born in 1864 in Boroughmuir, died 1941 in Pittenweem. Their grave is in the churchyard there. They had 10 children, including my grannie, Lily Newlands (1894-1976) also buried in Pittenweem, along with my father, Isaac (1927-2000).
I wonder where your Higgins connection comes from?
