1861 Census lookup

[Geoff-E]

Hi Pat - I'm only really starting so delighted to receive your reply. My grandmother was Ethel Biggadike (1894 - 1972) who I remember really well. I've traced back and am rapidly finding that the Biggadikes generally had big families! The Richard I'm interested in at the moment is the 1830 - 1868 Richard - I've found information about Priscilla and would love to know if she's part of my greater family, and if the Richard she was hanged for killing was an ancestor of mine. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Thank you for this information. How exciting - I'd love to see the show, but as we live in Scotland it's rather a long way. I shall look out for reviews though.

Hi again,
Sorry I don't appear to know anything of your Ethel Biggadike.  Is this her maiden name or her married name?
If it is her maiden name, do you know who her parents were or where she was born?  I have had a look on the 1901 census and it could  have been Charles and Sarah, or George and Maud? If you give me a little more information I should be able to help you.
The Richard Biggadike you mention was the son of William Biggadike and Mary Burch who married in Holbeach Lincs in 1819.  My line is through James another of their sons.
This line mainly come from the Holbeach/Whaplode area of Lincolnshire.
You may be able to help me with a long standing problem with my line.  I have photographs of a Biggadike family who lived in Louth Lincs. and London.  They had two daughters.  Do you know anything of them?
Cheers,
Pat.

Thanks Geoff, I didn't have Emma, just Fred, Alice & Rachel (who was born in 1868 & died in 1870).

My grandma Ethel Biggadike's father was Charles William 1866-1911, married to Sarah Alice Gray born 1961.
His father was Charles Biggadike 1837-1877, married to Mary Boyall born 1935.
His father was John Biggadike 1802-1868, married to Ann Spendla 1802-1887.

His father was John Biggadike 1711-1786, married to Mary Bate 1711-1750.

Someone somewhere along the way had a pub in the Holbeach area I think - I'll check on that and get back to you. Can you see if there is any connection between us Pat? I'm sorry I don't know any Biggadikes in Louth or London.

Hope this helps
Ann

The pub that my Biggadike ancestors used to run was the Red Lion in Holbeach. I'm not sure how long ago - again will try to find that out.

What a sad little family and what a sad story.
