Son of Thomas WIGHAM and Alice ALLAN of Gateshead, born June 1/4 1818 at Gateshead. William married Margaret MacDonald at the Newcastle upon Tyne Registry Office 9 August 1841. They immigrated to New York, leaving Newcastle on the Sarah & Arsilia and arrived in New York 25 October 1842 along with Lancelot Armstrong a mason and Thomas McNair a blacksmith. William's died in New York on 9 July 1846. I found his death in the New York newspaper index Barber Collection. To date I haven't been able to find out what happened to Margaret. Is anyone on the list researching this WIGHAM family please? Cheers, Diane New Zealand
