Happy New Year everybody!

I wanted to gauge opinion about a couple of things please.

Elizabeth Wiggett according to censuses was born circa 1790-92 in Cutsdean. I think the consensus from the earlier posts was that because Elizabeth ends up staying with Hannah Wiggett (nee Clapton) in 1861 she was likely Hannah’s sister in law, sister to Hannah’s deceased husband Edward B Wiggett (born 1800 Temple Guiting) and therefore the parents to both Elizabeth and Edward were RIchard and Mary Mifflin. However I found RIchard and Mary’s marriage was in 1799 Temple Guiting. But I suspect that Elizabeth’s more likely parents may be RIchard Wiggett and Hannah Taylor married 1784 Temple Guiting, and who had recorded children James 1785, Mary 1786 and Hannah 1789 all in Temple Guiting. Those dates suit Elizabeth better, but it does not have a link to why Elizabeth is with Hannah in 1781.

Any thoughts?

Thank you

Hi mrsksp,

Lovely to hear from you and welcome to Rootschat! It really is the most interesting and helpful genealogy forum.

As for your query, tbh I don’t know as I haven’t done much research on this side of my family. I’d suggest that looking at the names and locations there is a likelihood of us having the same ancestors.

From memory I think you have to post 3 messages before you can use the pm, so hopefully we can pm later and see if we can find our Clapton/Turner link.

Best wishes

Wow, so simple now that you’ve told me. Many thanks again Drosybont

Thank you so much, the image I have looks like an 8, but could easily be an 6. That is much more detail than I knew previously.

Anyone have any idea about the acronym? Similarly as with the 6 rather than 8. The first initial could be an E or an L

Sorry to hijack post, but rather than started a new post, I thought this thread would likely answer my query. I have a grand aunt buried in the Calcutta Scots Cemetery (Elizabeth Brechin), the Stone says “Betty Taylor (married name) died 1st August 1938 E (perhaps it’s L). A.D.T”  I have no details other than the Stone, so if any one could tell me how I could start to find out why she was over there, or what the letters stand for please?
