England / Re: Mocatta family of Liverpool/Cheshire
« on: Sunday 11 April 21 15:26 BST (UK) »
I have George MOCATTA and Agnes MOCATTA née GUEST in Birkenhead. Married 1901. 3 daughters born 1905-1910. None of the daughters married. George was in wine trade. Related to architect of Brighton railway station - presumably to bankers too. George's father's family came from Chester. His mother is my relative - Georgiana MANNING.
What the connection is to yours - who knows, but perhaps this helps.

Many years later......
... I'm interested in the Lewis WIGGINS you mention as being the possible father of my ancestor Frances Maria WIGGENS. The people I find in this family seem to change from WIGGINS and WIGGENS quite often, but that is perhaps understandable. My Maria married Frances Edward MANNING in Barrackpore in May 1825.
I'd be interested to know what you have on Lewis.
