John Wigley
« on: Friday 11 May 18 06:21 BST (UK) »
Sorry to bother this great message board again :-[ but I am still trying to find my ancestor John Wigley born around 1796 place unknown, burial date 18/1/1842 Nelson Street Birmingham Warwickshire aged 46, I have even posted on the Ladywood web page where he lived with family Harriett and children. He was a Commercial Clerk on the 1841 census with family, but on his son's death Certificate in N.S.W. Australia (George Henry Wigley) which I have, it was printed that John was a Veterinary Surgeon by trade, perhaps it may have referred to John Wigley Snr. :-[ I would like to know how and where to search for a Commercial Clerk and other Trade Directories that were available back in the early 1700-1900's. I have searched all over, Ancestry, FindMyPast etc. :-[

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

Janet,
I see at least one tree on Ancestry has him born in Warwickshire. However, on the 1841 census it quite clearly says not born in County.
Peter
Allen, Brown, West - Berkshire
Caesar, Dicker, Lamden, West - Hampshire
Hicks, Martin, Masters - Kent, Middlesex
Hancox/Hancock/Hancocke - Warwickshire
Gardner - Devon

1841 census entry has his occupation as "Clerk"

Oops, you already have that  :-[

Morning ciderdrinker, Pjm99, and BumbleB thanks for you help I have George Henry Wigley baptised on the 12/8/1839 born on 3/3/1836 at Saint Phillips Birmingham, he must have changed his trade because in Australia he was a Surgical Instrumental Maker, and as I mentioned before his father John Wigley was a Vet Surgeon I have this certificate. :-[. Perhaps the best way of finding him is through the children, John Richard Wigley, when he married changed his trade to a Gun Stoker, Robert Nathaniel, and Thomas Hugh. :-[ Thanks again for your help. :)

Is this your WIGLEY family?

Do you have the marriage certificate. It would ask for occupation, father's name and occupation. Witnesses might be close family -

FreeBDM   SepQ 1858 W Ham    4a / 19
WIGLEY Georg       m.       CROSS Mireumn

births
WIGLEY, George Henry     mms   CROSS      MarQ  1859     @ Edmonton  03a / 167 
WIGLEY, Walter John        mms   CROSS      SepQ 1861      @ Birmingham  06a / 175
WIGLEY, Miriam Adelaide   mms    CROSS      DecQ  1863      @ Edmonton    03a / 162

Can you see this family on census, 1861?

Can you list all the information on the death certificate, 1901.
