That would be lovely to have more of their details please.
I am wondering if Samuel Knox was also in the army, solicitor or ministry(as most of the family seem to be) and IF Samuel and Elizabeth were from Belfast would their marriage have taken place there(1838).
A thomas Twigge was at Rev Garnet Sr funeral in Belfast in 1768
Thank you so much

I have no idea how to answer to your personal message. I find this system not very user friendly!! Any clues would be welcome. I have photos of Gen Twigg (Sarah's brother) and of Sarah herself. cheers Michael39

I can't work out how this blessed system works. Can you find a way of giving me your email, then I can email you direct. Also advice on how to make a picture less than 500kb. I have an earlly 19th century picture of a Mrs Twigg which I could send + General Twigg, Sarah's brother + Sarah herself.

HI, I am researching the Twigg family. Elizabeth Knox married Captain John Twigg who was the brother of the Rev Samuel Twigg (my line). I have found all this information very useful. The photo of Sara Twigg that you have posted with the date (1950) - Is that the sister of John Thomas and Samuel Knox Twigg who married Frances Vance? Do you have any information about Major General John Thomas or Samuel who married Frances and had Mabel Twigg who married Charles Johnson and Sidney who married john Kenworthy??
All the best for now
-
I would love the photo of Major General John Thomas Twigg please!
Many thanks

Welcome to roots Kilbie

Mabel had two children I have found Ruth and Elizabeth
Sidney had Samuel
their siblings
Andrew
Frances

I know I am a year late. I share the interest of KILBY. I am a "local historian," living a short distance from where Samuel Knox TwiggE owned some 150 acres in Ruskin BC, Canada. He died in 1906. His wife's maiden name is Vance. I think she went back to the UK but I am not sure. They had a daughter named Sidney, who married John G. Kenworthy in 1910. He went to war and died in France in 1915. She went back to England around 1923.
SK's brother was Major General John Twigg(e) of which I also know very little. Could you help me learn more about Samuel Knox Twigge and brother John?
Thanks

Re: Steve's earlier problem in making the connection between Rev Thomas Twigg junior and Rev Blacker - Rev Twigg's great grandmother was Barbara Twigg née Blacker, and she in turn was descended from the first Lord Castlestuart. This information (in fact the complete line) is contained in a lecture which Rev Twigg gave in Ardboe in 1872, having been curate there in 1845-47. I have a copy of this lecture; I'm currently seeking a photograph of Rev Twigg, who died in Swords in 1909, having been the Prependary and Vicar of Swords for many years.

Hello RC
Welcome to Roots
OH MY.......I would love to read that......
Thank you but I have managed to find the link .....I will look through what I have ...but I know I do not have a photograph for him...

Steve, I tried to send you a personal message, so that I may forward the Rev Twigg article to you, but for some reason I have been told that I cannot send a personal message, even though I have done so in the past.......
-
Racer,
You have only made two posts. To use the PM system you have to have made three. Reply to this and you should be able to use the PM system.
Regards
-
Sorry, my understanding was that, to send personal messages, you only had to establish your credentials once on the site by way of three postings, rather than three postings on each topic.
To reiternate, per my previous message to Steve, I have a Word document containing the lecture given by Rev Thomas Twigg Junior in Ardboe in 1872, in which he describes his lineage. I also have a 1928 obituary of his youngest son, Colonel Edward Francis Twigg, who died in 1928.
-
The 3 posts do not have to be on the same topic but now that you've three you should be able to send and receive PMs without any problem.
-
Thank you so much, so very kind
I shall get great pleasure reading them.

Hi there,
I know I may be late in posting this but have been tracing my family tree and have only just discovered this chat. I am a descendent of Rev. George "Big George" Twigg who was born in Belfast. I think he is of this line as my own great grandfather was named Albert Edward Knox Twigg although he never used the Knox formally. The records however appear to have been lost as the family spent a great deal of time in India and Africa. Any information anyone could send me would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards to you all
Ben

Could I also ask how I am to contact people privately in order to exchange information?

Hi,
On the left hand side of the last message of the person you wish to contact there is a small circle with a "page" in it. Click on this and it will bring up the private page
