Title: Biggs - Denaby,Maltby,Retford,Worksop
Post by: Corcam on Tuesday 25 July 06 18:45 BST (UK)
I am clutching at straws but I just wondered if anyone had any monumental inscriptions or burials for a FULLER BIGGS or any information!

I am desperately trying to find out where he ended up. He moved from Cambridgeshire to Nottinghamshire/Doncaster about 1910. I have addresses for him in Maltby, I also know he was in Retford.

In 1913 he married a Mary Ann PAYLING in Denaby, Doncaster and subsequently served in WW1. Mary Ann was originally from Worksop and Fuller was working as a coalminer.

After WW1, his whereabouts are unknown  - his brother did try to find him in the 1930’s but did not succeed – so 75 years later I am trying again.

Hi Corcam,

I'm afraid most of the indexes produced stop at around 1900. So unless a fellow researcher drops by, it's going to mean a long slog through the GRO indexes to find a death (which can be done for free on ancestry.co.uk).

Not much consolation I know but at least you aren't looking for a John Smith :)

Thank you very much for your response, I didn't realise the full FreeBMD was on ancestry - so far I am up to 1931!! Thank you for taking time to respond it has definately helped and I will let you know if I find him

Thanks
