One of my Coxes (George Cox) married Eliza Biggs in 1876 - her parents were William and Ann (nee Lock) and they had the following kids - Thomas (b c1842), John (b c1844), Daniel (b c1846), Jacob and Esau (b c1848) [I assume these are twins] - from the 1871 census it looks as though there was a William born around 1852 as well. there's also Elizabeth, whom I assume to be William's mother, born c1787. An 1871 census entry shows a John Biggs from Kemble (b c1845) marrying Ellen (b c1846) from Ashton Keynes. They had Sarah born in 1871 - I imagine this is the same John Biggs above. Any connection? cheers Danny
