The Common Room / Re: Is MOUCHET a French surname ?
« on: Monday 15 April 13 03:06 BST (UK) »
I am researching the Stiggers family and am looking at a direct connection with Joseph Mouchat who was married to Harriet King. They had two children both named Thomas. The first Thomas died in c1849 whilst the second Thomas was born in 1853. have not been able to identified what happened to Joseph Mouchat and the information you have is that he died in 1848 which does not tie in with the children's births . In Feb 1857 Harriet married John Stiggers. At some stage Harriet's surviving son from the first marriage changed his surname from Mouchat to Stiggers and he is my great grandfather!
I have done lot of research on Thomas Stiggers and have traced the family back to c1750 in West Kingsdown in Kent. I have thought for some time that I need to concentrate my research on the Mouchat's and I would be pleased to hear from you with any further info you have on Joseph Mouchat's ancestors.
I have number of Mouchat birth certificates I can copy to you if you wish but I can only do this after the first week in May as I am out of the UK at present.
