Title: John PIGOTT born c1796 West Dereham/Hilgay/Southery?
Post by: norfolkgal on Thursday 28 July 05 13:11 BST (UK)

Hi,
I am trying to find out where and when John PIGOTT was born, and so find his parents(hopefully).
He married Mary ROLFE in 1823 in Hilgay.
In 1825 his first son was born in Hilgay.
In 1841 (census) he is living at West Dereham and is a farmer. The age on the census makes him born c1796 but ofcourse he could be up to 4 years older than that - so I presume his baptism would have been 1792-1797 (probably).
I know there were a lot of PIGOTTs in Southery so I am hoping to find a connection with them.
So, if anyone has access to the baptisms for 1792-1797 for Hilgay, Southery or West Dereham, could they please check him out for me.
Thanks
Norfolkgal

Hello Norforlkgal - Hello from Australia! You may no longer use this account but John Pigott is my 4th Great Grandfather. His 3rd great grandson is my father, Brad Pigott.

Hi, Thanks for getting in touch - I am very interested in my Australian 'cousins'.
