Robert Wigg Born 1835 Yarmouth
« on: Thursday 29 May 14 14:30 BST (UK) »
Hi, struggling with the above, he wed Sarah Jane Pearson about 1860, but I would really like to learn his parents if anyone can find them, I think dad was a William but do not know anything else.

Thanks

John

In 1841 a likely Robert Wigg, aged 4, is in the household of William (40, mariner, not born in Norfolk) and Dorcas (35, born Norfolk) in Yarmouth.

This may be the couple's marriage in 1823:
