No birth registrations anywhere for Elizabeth Anna Higginson

To go back further I think you need their marriage certificate which would give the name of each ones father.

I just think the transcriber was taking an educated guess with the middle initial - the original is very hard to read.

Surest way would be to get the marriage cert to ascertain their fathers' names.
Incidentally, Elizabeth's birthplace is Sandbach! I think the transcriber was having a bad day.
