Hi there. I am hoping you can help me as I have hit a brick wall and am at my wits end. I am looking for John STAGG born 1808 Great Bedwyn (Have him in 1841 Census etc married to Maria.) Problem is, I couldn't find him on the IGI and I found a John STAGG born 1807 in Great Bedwyn (said it was incorrectly listed as Trowbridge) to a Sarah STAGG, with the father blank She also has 2 other children, Selina born 1812 and Maurice born 1818. There is a big gap between children, so I am wondering if there are more. I am also wondering if the children would have the same father, or 3 different fathers... I am more interested in John STAGG as he is my ggggf. But I am in Australia so I have no way to go to Wiltshire to check the bastardry books or anything else. Can anyone help or offer any suggestions/opinions? Thanks Jenny in Queensland Australia

Hi Jenny By co-incidence this is some information I extracted on a visit to the Hampshire RO last week and I am sat here looking at many Stagg's at Whitchurch, Hampshire. Which is only 45 kms away from Great Bedwyn. Fiche PR10 3/5 - Marriages, Whitchurch, Hants. 13/03/1858 Page 132 No 263 George Gilbert STAGG 29 Batchelor, Lab. Father: JOHN STAGG, Lab Married Maria TANNER 22 Spinster (Linked to my tree) Father Joseph TANNER Lab Witness 1 George TANNER Witness 2 Sarah Jane TANNER. They had seven children at the last count. There were many who moved to Whitchurch for work on the railways, paper and silk mills. Hope this helps indirectly. If it does then the Hants RO has a complete index of all Whitchurch censuses. Jim North Les Arcs France. Researching, HARRIS, TANNER, WOOLDRIDGE and now STAGG's at Whitchurch, Hants. Maybe NORTH's as well later on. -----Original Message----- From: eng-wiltshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-wiltshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jenny Sent: Friday, September 15, 2006 10:28 AM To: eng-wiltshire@rootsweb.com Subject: [ENG-WILTSHIRE] Father of John STAGG born 1809 to Sarah STAGG,no father listed??

Hi Jenny! I have a passing interest in the STAGG family in that an ancestor of mine (Charles VIVASH) married Selina STAGG in Great Bedwyn in 1848. However, I do recall that a whole IGI batch number mistakenly allocates Great Bedwyn events to Trowbridge so if you work from a known Great Bedwyn baptism or marriage which has been mistakenly allocated to Trowbridge and do a batch search under STAGG, you can be sure that all the results shown as Trowbridge should in fact be Great Bedwyn.
