Richard DIGWEED - Burghclere

[siobhank13]

Hi,

Can anyone help me find details of the birth of a Richard Digweed from Burghclere?  He was born approximately 1791.  He married Mary Pibworth in 1809 in East Woodhay. 

I have been able to find him and his family in the 1841 - 1871 census returns, but I cannot find any trace of his birth or details about his parents. Richard died in July 1878 in Burghclere.

Any further  information would be gratefully received.

Have you tried this website

startx.co.uk/Kingsclere/contents.html just put the www.

before the address.

Go down the page to gene database and press on it then in the next page just type in the name.

Hello

Your welcome. He fits into my line somewhere but as an off shoot to my Webb's and Garrett's.

If you get stuck personal msg me and I will ask some one else I am in contact with if they know anything.
