Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: WIGGINS 1841 Census Cheltenham
« on: Tuesday 12 April 11 00:30 BST (UK)  »
You mentioned Moreton, Albert Beverley Wiggins  age 19, panel 65 Tower Hill Memorial according to www.cwgc.com ,son of John George Wiggins and M? Wiggins of Moreton ,can't get any further than that , West Derby, my daughter lives in West Derby, the problem is in the 1800s there are loads of Wiggins living in the Preston to Wigan area who came to work in Liverpool and district , but Moreton Wiggins could be an offshoot from the Wiggins who lived in Seacombe and came to Wirral via Chester.

Hi wigken, Kay11 is a relative of mine ,as above ,I've not heard from her for a while.
My wife is doing the Wiggins family and says  your first message is no ,she has a few missing connections in the Liverpool area.
You say your from Moreton and Birkenhead and Liverpool ,well some where along the line you could be related to our gang who came from Cheltenham in the 1840's and settled in Liverpool and Birkenhead, I still live on the Wirral.
Every year we go to Moreton and join a load of others on Remeberance day and pay our respects to the people on the small Cenataph at the British Legion  club, one of the people is an Albert Wiggins who's name is on the Cenataph, I've checked to see if I could find a connection with him but can't find anything, I did a bit of research and found Albert is on the seaman's memorial next to the Thames, and his ship was sunk by I11 a Japanese submarine he was  the MV Queen Victoria in the Mozambique channel opposite Biera on 26th June 1942, is he part of your family?.

Wasn't there a training ship for young offenders around Bristol  called the Formidable,as I have a relative who was naughty and was sent to it sometime around the 1890's he was from Cheshire,I did see a list on the internet with names of the people on board,can't remember if it was a census list and sorry can't remember the link  .

I know this is not much help but Wiggins and Spratley are names that come from Leafield, in the Forest of Wychwood  in Oxfordshire it has it's own web  page and is has a Spratley list of marriages.

I have a feeling that some of the Boumphrey books have pictures in showing the damage done in Woodchurch Rd,Oxton Rd,and in Birkenhead and had some names in,I do have a book on the Lusitania which came out about 8 years ago but on checking can't find anything in it .
