Woodstock lookup
« on: Sunday 03 April 16 00:40 BST (UK) »
I'd be very grateful if some kind person could have a look for the baptism of William Wiggins in Woodstock. He was born in 1769 or 1770,
Many thanks!

Hi

Just had a look through St Marys Woodstock and he is not there, in fact no Wiggins in the baptisms at all

Ah well, at least I can rule it out. Thanks very much for taking the trouble to look for me!

May be completely useless to you but there are plenty of Wigginses in Brize Norton round that time  inc a William baptised in late 1771. Also they might possibly be written as Wickens

Not a million miles away (but a good 4 or 5 parishes)

He's the top of that line, so it'd be pretty difficult to confirm - all I have on his origin is the censuses saying he was born in Woodstock, drat him :) But definitely worth a look anyway - thanks for the tip!

Hi
There is a Woodstock near Kingswood in the suburbs of Bristol, Gloucestershire - might fit?
