Just to say a huge thanks

Hi Geoff   
Thankyou for your speedy responce, my mum will be so pleased,
I descend from William Biigadike b: 1775 D:15 oct 1840, married to Elizabeth Swan B:1776 D:20 Sep 1851
This was in fact my Great Great Great Great Grandfather
My Great Great Great Grandfather was Charles Biggadike B:1819
M: 16 May 1831 D:30 Nov 1884 married to Mary Ann Barfoot,
John Thomas Biggadike married to Sarah Ebb was my Great Great Grandfather,
Harry Biggadike B:21 Jun 1874 M:10 Jul 1892 D:5 Jan 1919/1920.
My Grandfather was Stanley Albert Biggadike, My Mother Pauline Nee Biggadike, never knew much growing up as, my grandfathers dad died shortly after he was born, Amy Mills remarried shortly after his death, 1 of his brothers, who would not have his brothers children live with them, so they were passed to siblings to bring up, My grandfather was bought up by his sister Dorothy Biggadike, and as far as he knew, his mother who died in 1923 was the first to die, and that is why he was moved, only 1 of his brothers Harry was adopted to Ognar orphanage, but he went on to do great things, the Biggadikes for years to us have been a complete mystery, and my mum is shocked to find that relatives still exist, we have tried many times to start researching, but always got confused as to the many spellings of Biggadike, Bigadyke, Biggadyke, are we actually all from the same line, or are these infact from another Biggadike line, Our spelling seemed to change from Biggadyke to Biggadike when John Thomas & Sarah Ebb married, not sure why, would really love to research all of this further, as have 4 children of my own
