Dublin / Re: Samuel James Pigott - obituary in "The Warden" newspaper

Thank you for your replies, Rootschatters,
I will look into the other papers suggested. An obituary in "The Warden" was mentioned in a letter written in the 1950's by a relative of Samuel's. Thanks again, Margaret.

Dublin / Samuel James Pigott - obituary in "The Warden" newspaper
« on: Monday 17 June 13 17:03 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
Can someone help me to find an obituary for Samuel Pigott who died on 17 June 1853 and was buried at Mt Jerome Cemetery on 20 June 1853. I have the monument inscription from his grave but would like to see his obituary to find out more about his life and family. Thanks for your time.

Thank you Garen and Gortonboy for your information on Robert Nicholson. It was interesting to read about the Royal Artillery in Afghanistan but it looks as though I have the wrong Robert. I will have to pursue Robert and his brother at the NA when I am next in Uk. Thank you so much for your interest. Regards, Margaret.

Hello Garen,
I found the entry for Robert Nicholson on A......... -  UK Military Campaign Medal and Award Rolls 1793-1949. It looks as though he may have been in the Royal Artillery with the initials OC RA Sirkund Div or Dist (?)5 January 1882. He appears to have served at Charasdia (?) and Kabul and defence of Sherpin (?). His rank looks like D Privet (?). Hope you can make something out of the above. Thanks, Margaret.

Hello Garen,
Thanks for your reply regarding Robert and Alfred Nicholson. I have found one entry for a Robert Nicholson in the Afghan Campaign and his regiment number is 2326. His medal remarks seem to say OC RA Sinbid Dv 5/1/82. Can you tell me anything further from those details? Cheers, Margaret.

I am seeking information on two brothers Robert John Nicholson b1856 St Georges East and Alfred Albert Nicholson b1859 St Georges East. The last information we have regarding them is in the 1871 census where they are with their parents Robert and Catherine Nicholson (nee Pendlebury). It is believed that they both were involved in the Anglo-Afghan war but it is not known which regiment they may have served. They both seemed to have died in Afghanistan. Do you have any information regarding Robert and Alfred? Thanks for your time.
Margaret.

Occupation Interests / Re: George Pigott and Samuel James Pigott - Professors of Music

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your message. I am helping a friend who is the great grandson of Louis Pigott you mentioned. He also knew about the desk with the hidden compartment and the deeds to Chetwynd, however, I have not yet been able to find the family connection apart from the fact that Chetwynd as a second name appears through the generations.

Re George and Samuel I was hoping that if they had a university education maybe I could find out more about them but as you and others have pointed out, it is not very likely.
I have quite a lot of info on the Pigotts too if you would like to exchange. Please contact me privately. Margaret from W.A.

Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Robert Morris Leicester policeman 1841

Hello Diddy,
Thank you for your reply. Yes, I have him in the census up until he died in 1881. I was hoping that if someone was already going to the Leicester Register Office they could check out his police service record for me. Thanks anyway. Regards, Margaret.

Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Robert Morris Leicester policeman 1841
« on: Thursday 26 April 12 10:24 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
I am hoping to find out more information on PC10 Robert Morris who was employed as a policeman at Leicester for a number of years. We know that he was there in 1841 because it is mentioned on his marriage cert with Martha Stevenson nee Smeeton. Also information received from the Leicester Register Office that he is found  in Reward Fund Book being fined 2s 2d on 15 Feb 1841 and paid 5s on 9 May 1842. To find out more would it be possible if some kind person (if they are already going to the Register Office) to check out information in the Watch Committee minutes (reference CM42).  I live in Oz and unable to get to the Leicester Register Office. Robert was born in 1809 in Wing Rutland to Thomas and Ann Morris. Thanks for your time. Margaret.
