Would anyone be able to search further back for me on the Pigdons
The info I have
Tom Armstrong Pigdon born 5th March 1908 Father John Edward Pigdon Mother Mary Emily Pigdon ( Nee Armstrong )
From 1901 census J E P father was Edward Pigdon and Mother Ann Pigdon
I have Edward Pigdon in the 1891,1881,1871&1861 Census, 1861 census shows him living with his Grandfather John Matthews and his mother Martha Pigden ( note e instead of o ). Also I have Martha marrying a Robert Pigdon in 1855 mar qtr ( Robert died in 1859 Mar qtr ) I would like to get back from Robert if possible as I have an Australian leg of the family tree I am trying to tie into.
Thanks Kath

Kath,
With Robert Pigdon not surviving long enough after his marriage to Martha Matthews to get onto a census ( thus no record of birthplace, age , occupation, etc.) it makes more difficult to identify the "right" Robert, from the candidates available.
Certificate of the Robert/Martha marriage will reveal Robert's occupation and his father's name and occupation, his address/residence in early 1855, and maybe his age.
Birth cert of Mary Ann and Edward Pigdon will also reveal Robert's occupation.
Over the River Tyne, on censuses 1841 ( 312/13-10-14) and 1851 (2403-132-62) in Swalwell, Co Durham, there is a Robert Pigdon, born 1829/30, son of couple John and Mary.
But this is only a possibility that needs corroboration.

Kath,
The marriage cert alone, would provide the required info.
No need for birth certs, unless you choose to have them !

( who only buys certs for essential info ! )

Wish I was a bit sharper, I seem to buy birth and marriage certs. for everyone ( had a night school teacher who said "dont believe anything until you have it verified " ) He may have had shares in GRO
Thanks for your help Kath :D :D

Kath,
I use census info and church records info to x-reference.
Any doubt, or crucial bit of info missing, I then buy the cert.
Consequently I can afford to holiday every year on the Riviera... The Blyth Riviera ! Sea temp is rarely below zero>

Thanks again Michael,
My hols tend to be here at Sunny Scunny, not too bad when the sun breaks thru the crud from the steelworks.

Hi.
I see from an earlier posting that you are researching the Pigdon family. I am also "digging up" info about this family, my great grandmother was a Pigdon and lived in the Castle Ward area. She also lived in the Swalwell district of Durham as mentioned my Mike Dixon. Seems like the may all have been related.
I have also been in touch with another Pigdon in "sunny Scunny" so he is probably a relation of yours. His arm of the family turned out to be my g. grandmothers brother.

Good to hear from you. The Pigdon in Scunthorpe, Was it Eric who you communicated with ?
-
Yes it was and I realised he is not in Scunthorpe even though his family went there.
-
sorry, nice to hear from you again. Are you in the Scunthorpe or are you further afield?
The other person who got in touch was an ancestor of the brother of the Scunthorpe lot and I am the g.g.grandaughter of their sister.
-
Going round in circles my wife was a Pigdon before we married and yes they are the "Scunthorpe lot"
Are you an actual Pigdon or is it by marriage?
Are you part of the Northumberland arm ?
If not where are your section of the family from?
Sorry for all the questions you may e mail me at (*)
if you like.
Regards Kath RAF
