Hi my family name seems to end with Wright Wigg born 1697 in Thursford Norfolk and I can't find his christening or baptism any where.
Can someone help me please

FreeReg shows a baptism of Wright Wigg  28th March 1694 at St Margaret’s Kings Lynn.

There are several Wright Wigg variations over the years though so maybe a relative.

There are no records showing for Thursford for the surname Wigg.

I presume he married 21 Feb 1721/2 and that record is where you hot Thursford from?
He was of that Parish at time of Marriage but it does not mean he was born there.

As you probably know they Bapt children St Nicholas, East Dereham;
JOHN 6 Jan 1723/4, buried 11 Mar 1723/4
JOHN 20 Jan 1724/5
THOMISIN 28 Feb 1726/7
WILLIAM 6 Jul 1729, buried 19 Oct 1729
WILLIAM 16 Apr 1731
GODDARD 27 Dec 1736

WRIGHT was possibly buried 5 Apr 1742 and ANN Wigg 27 Sep 1777, Widow.

1694 Bapt looks like a possible to me.

I have him married once in 1718 to Mary Manser in Gunthorpe and 2nd marriage to Ann Goddard in 1721 in Mileham Norfolk
First wife Mary Manser died in 1719

The Norfolk record office has this -  http://nrocat.norfolk.gov.uk/DServe/dserve.exe?dsqServer=NCC3CL01&dsqIni=dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Catalog&dsqPos=19&dsqSearch=%28%28text%29%3D%27Wright%20Wigg%27%29
(tried to shrink the link but it didn't work

I have looked at the document, (via the Family Search website) which is in Latin, so I’m afraid I can’t help with a translation, though I can see the name Thomas.

There is a second similar document mentioning Wright Wigg, other names Richard, John and Thomas, but again in Latin.
 Also, the will of Richard Wegg of Blickling, 1715, in which he bequeaths an amount of money to his “Kinsman, Wright Wigg”

Also mentioned in this Will are William and Elizabeth Flood, of Thursford.
I believe Elizabeth Flood was previously Elizabeth Wigg  (marriage in 1702 at North Barsham, but the register is very difficult to read)

I can give you links to all these documents, but to view them you would have to sign in to Family Search.
