Title: 1851 Hereford lookup, please
Post by: foyers on Monday 20 March 06 21:53 GMT (UK)
I am trying to find my great grandfather, William Bigglestone. He was christened in Eardisley in 1851 but I believe he was born in 1850.  I really would like to confirm the names of his parents, possibly John and Diana.  There might also be a brother, George who was born in 1846.
I'd appeciate any information as this has been a bit of a brick wall for me.
Thank you
Maureen

Hi!

The International Genealogical Index (www.familysearch.org) has an entry for the marriage
of Thomas Bigglestone to Diana Williams on 4th Dec 1842 at Eardisley.

Also, just in case you haven't seen them, there are entries for the christening of 3 children,
all at Eardisley:

George     2nd Nov 1845    (under the name Biddlestone)
William      17th Aug 1851
Sarah       2nd April 1854

Best wishes,

Ju
