Good Evening all, hope you are all well, I am posting my ancestor again the late John Wigley bap, around 1798 place unknown, married a Harriett Porter St. Martins, Birmingham on the 5/1/1824 and died 10/1/1842, Harriett death 1/10/1848. I am certain that the other John Wigley bap. around 1796 is connected in some way, he married a Mary Ann Smith on the 23/7/1820 same Church, children very similiar, and also their trade. On checking the 1841 Census for John Wigley and MaryAnn his trade a Bronze Maker birth place was listed as Scotland, or Ireland or Foreign Part the same for his wife, they all lived in the area of Ladywood Birmingham, I have since checked Scotland and no luck. When I searched Ancestry and posted John's birth place as Ireland several countries of the UK came up, eg. Shropshire, Derbyshire, and Berkshire.
would love to find him, surely members of the Wigley families are around and also searching.
Regards,
Janet
