Jane Wiggin (Wiggon) baptised 22 February 1697

[sigmund]

Jane Wiggin (Wiggon) was my great great great great great grandmother who was baptised on 22 February 1697 at Harewood, Yorkshire - according to Family Search her father was Robert Wiggon.
She was married to Robert Burnell (baptised about 1700) on 23 November 1720 at All Saints Church, Harewood. I cannot progress any further back and I would be grateful if anyone could suggest how I could find out further details of her father and mother, and of her husband Robert Burnell - descendants often spelt as Barnell. I was wondering, as they were married in the Harewood Estate church id they might have been employed on the Estate. Does anyone else have these ancestors?

Hello,

Just a little more information, the above mentioned baptism for Jane states her father was Robert Wiggon of Wigton - situated approximately 3.5 miles from Harewood.

I've no way of knowing whether these are the details for Jane's father, apart from the date making it a good possibility :        

Birth : 1st November 1767
Robert Wiggon, son of William and Sarah Wiggon of Lofthouse.
Baptism : 31st January 1768
Harewood, All Saints

Might help if I'd found the right century.

Hi Pels

It could not have been Jane's father Robert as Jane was baptised on 22 Feb 1697

Sorry, I realised that the minute I'd posted it - hence the lines through what I said. To be honest my eyes are struggling with the old script.

Marriage - 1692
Robertum Wiggin in parochia de Harwood, et Elizabetham Beanlands
Parish of Ilkley 

I think the month was October.

Pels, that is great it ties in with the baptisms of Jane's sisters - the earliest one being Elizabeth Wiggon 19 Nov 1694 at Harewood.

Cross checking with Family Search, I can't find anymore children born to Robert after Faith in 1702, hoping of course that Faith was another of Jane's sisters. If she was, it's a long shot but could this be Robert's burial :

Burial : 22nd September 1703    
Robert Wiggin of Wigton
Harewood, All Saints

The baptism record for Faith in 1702 claims that her father was Robert Wiggin of Wigton.
