Biggs - Denaby,Maltby,Retford,Worksop
« on: Tuesday 25 July 06 18:45 BST (UK) »
I am clutching at straws but I just wondered if anyone had any monumental inscriptions or burials for a FULLER BIGGS or any information!

I am desperately trying to find out where he ended up. He moved from Cambridgeshire to Nottinghamshire/Doncaster about 1910. I have addresses for him in Maltby, I also know he was in Retford.

In 1913 he married a Mary Ann PAYLING in Denaby, Doncaster and subsequently served in WW1. Mary Ann was originally from Worksop and Fuller was working as a coalminer.

After WW1, his whereabouts are unknown  - his brother did try to find him in the 1930’s but did not succeed – so 75 years later I am trying again.

Hi Corcam

Are we talking abt Fuller Chapman BIGGS  born 1880 Linton Cambridgeshire

Have you seen this  WW1 Medal Card record - is it his?
Medal card of Biggs, Fuller
Corps Regiment No Rank
Royal Garrison Artillery SR/5441 Gunner
Royal Garrison Artillery 280441 Gunner

Have you obtained his full service record - it may provide more clues?

Cheers  ;D

Yes I am talking about the same one - thanks for the info. I am hoping to get to the National Archives to search for any clues.

I know he is probably the only person with this name so thankfully that narrows it down

Regards
