Oh! You have both been very busy with my request...Thank you Cas & Gadget very much - I had to toddle off to bed, it being the very early hours down here, so I snoozed while you both did the hard work.
You certainly found a Cordelia Wigley, and as Cas said, it is not a common name, but I was hoping she would be a little younger than the one on the Census...I don't know what to make of it all yet. Maybe it is not her, although the structure of the family, the way they named their children etc., is very similar to the way the Clunne family named theirs.
Information which might make things plainer...1st., re Thomas:
Thomas Pryce Clunne m. Ann Piplar in 1804 at St Margaret Pattens & St Gabriel, Rood Lane, London - they then went to live at Gravesend Kent, where they had Thomas Pipler Pryce Clunne 1808, Cordelia 1809, John (2) 1811 died, 1813 (bap St George, Gravesend) & Sarah 1817 - (the place 'Milton near Gravesend' comes up a lot - and names such as Cordelia and Thomas Pipler Pryce follow in the next generations)
By 1841 Census, Ann Clunne is a widow of independent means - but I haven't been able to find the death of her husband, Thomas Pryce Clunne, whose death would have occurred sometime between 1816 - 1841. I was hoping by following Cordelia via the Census, I might find out where they were both born, and I note that Cordelia of Aberayron was born in Middlesex.
Information on Cordelia:
Cordelia Pryce Clunne m. John Wigley same year as Thomas, 1804 at St Margaret Pattens & St Gabriel also...so I had assumed she was his sister and was led to believe that they went to Aberayron...
