Title: what happened to thomas edwin wiggall
Post by: Cher4 on Thursday 11 August 11 16:59 BST (UK)

I have a Thomas Edwin Wiggall born 31 october 1881 parents Mary Ann Wiggall nee Mitchell and Thomas Wiggall(have cert)at Whitcombe Badgeworth.
In 1891 census they are all in Little Witcombe.

In 1894 the father Thomas Wiggall died they were living in Cheltenham.

 The next thing i have is from googling i found an newspaper article about an Thomas edwin Wiggall in Cheltenham attempting to commit suicide, it mentioned his mother and sister which fits in the paper was dated aug 25 1894. At the end of the article he was remanded to the workhouse pending arrangement for sending to an industrial school.

Then he disappears.

Also cant find his mum mary Ann Wiggall born approx c1845 Whitminster after 1894(nor her birth on marriage cert no father mentioned )

Can any one find both Thomas and his mum after 1984.
