Post by: norfolkgal on Thursday 28 July 05 13:19 BST (UK)

Hi,
Does anyone else have a connection with PIGOTTs from West Dereham and Hilgay?My great Aunt married a Gabriel PIGOTT and I have traced his family back to John PIGGOT born c 1796.

Best wishes

Hi Norfolkgal

I have just started to search the Pigott line. I have an Emily Pigott who was born to John Pigott and Mary Rolfe about 1843 in Dereham Norfolk. as according to her death certificate in Australia.

I was wondering if you have any record of her birth?

I picked up on the family on 1841 Census and
Emily is shown in the 1851 Census with her brothers William, Robert and sister Harriet in the Union Workhouse Downham Norfolk.

According to the death cert. she married a James Brown where and when not known. there was son Gabriel R. born about 1864.

Her second marriage was to William Portass at Launceston, Tasmania. Date of marriage is 8 October 1872.

Emily Portass died 6 June 1907 Inverell, NSW. Australia

I would be very grateful of any info. on Emily
