Note: On this index page were Annie Barber and Annie Baldwin. We would need to order the certificate to see which of these two Annies is the wife of Alfred Higby (the other one married Harry Frost). Or you can use the 1911 census to get birth location of the wife and check the 1901 or 1891 census to see which maiden name is the correct one.
The 1911 census would also let us know if they had children.
