Seeking any assistance which might be obtained as regards the family of -

William Tansley Bygrove born 1793 in Bedfordshire, probably at Henlow. William was likely the son of Edward Biggrave/Bigrough/Bygrove (1770-1845) and Mary Tansley (1770-1808) and, if so, had a sister Ann (b.1791). William's grandparents were probably James Bigrave/Biggrave (d.1782) and Ann Upton (dates unknown).

William Tansley Bygrove joined the Sixteenth (Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire) Regiment of Foot in early 1812. He served in Ireland, probably deserted, and was sentenced to "Unlimited Service" in a penal regiment, the York Chasseurs. He was shipped to the West Indies in 1815. William fathered at least one daughter in Jamaica, Mary Ann (b.1816) and possibly another daughter, Mathilda (b.1818/1819). He was subsequently shipped to Canada in 1819, demobilized, granted land, fathered seven more children, and died in 1882.
