Title: William Ashley Wiggins
Post by: Cher4 on Monday 09 January 06 19:30 GMT (UK)

Hi i have a William Ashley Wiggins born c1836 Didbrook near Winchcombe Glos. His mother was Lucy Wiggins and i believe he was illigimate, but on his marriage cert the father is down as William Ashley(surname).

I wonder if someone could check the parish registers for me to see if there is a fathers name or not on Williams bapt details.

I could do a look up in hereford Records office in return.

thank you for any help i have William through the census,s.

I actually had in my hand the original baptism register for St George, Didbrook!
