Hi list, Here is an extract that should be very interesting to descendents of Lester PIGGOTT. :-) Extracted from "The Herald", web issue 2657 The Archive: Lester Piggott go directly to jail DOUG GILLON October 23 2006 The public gallery at Ipswich Crown Court gasped. Lester Piggott knew he was going down, yet even he was appalled. The 11-times champion jockey's legs buckled when sentence was pronounced: "Three years". He was soon driven with 12 other prisoners to Norwich jail, and stripped of his OBE. It's 19 years today since the most successful sportsman of his era was convicted on 10 counts. The sentence was the highest passed for personal tax fraud. The fact that he'd already paid £3.9m to the Inland Revenue, was to no avail. The case against him was for £1.7m. An example was to be made. Anything but a custodial sentence would encourage other tax dodgers, said the judge. He was also fined £25,000, plus £34,000 costs. That day, this paper advertised a post for an experienced accountant at a salary of £25,000. That was reportedly half the then fee for a Derby-winning jockey, a feat Piggott had achieved a record nine times. Piggott's wife, Sue, wept as he was led from court, but within hours the Jockey Club had granted her a temporary trainers' license to take over his yard at Newmarket. He was free 366 days later. Piggot, 52 when convicted, had ample means. Notoriously thrifty, he was estimated to be worth more than £20m. There were 23 bank accounts in tax havens like Switzerland, the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Isle of Man, and Jersey. At least one account, discovered just a month before the trial, was not even in Piggott's name. Even his own advisers were unaware of its existence. The case lifted the lid on the industry. Trainer Henry Cecil employed Piggott at £10,000 a year, but it was common for Classic-winning jockeys to be paid a fortieth share in these stallions. A single share in Nijinsky (on which Piggott won the 1970 Derby and 2000 Guineas) was traded in 1983 for £848,000. Twelve years after he rode him to victory in the Derby, a Roberto share was worth £575,000, and the same year two shares in another of his nine Derby winners, The Minstrel, went for £1.15m. Another lucrative seam was nomination rights. Shareholders were allowed to bring a mare to a stallion for its lifetime, and sell the foal. In the 10 years to 1984 yearling fees rose tenfold, to 33,300 guineas. Nomination rights could also be sold. Those for Habitat, a successful Piggott mount of the late 1960s, rose from 3000 guineas in '73 to 80,000 in '86. Piggott rode his first winner at 12 and his first in the Derby at 18. He retired in 1985, and set up as a trainer. Released from jail, he returned to riding, claiming his 30th Classic win aged 56. He finally hung up his whip in 1995, with more than 5300 wins in over 30 countries after 47 years in the saddle. Piggott was collateral fall-out in a dispute between Cecil and a London owner and businessman. The trainer had written a private and confidential letter asking his owners to contribute to Piggott's annual retainer. He asked for it to be paid in cash, and suggested the letter be destroyed. One owner felt Cecil had mismanaged the sale of a colt, and passed the letter to the Revenue. Earlier investigations into Piggott's affairs discovered nothing, but the third time, they had him.

Hi list, I copied this from another list. I checked out: http://www.findagrave.com/ Olive May PIGGOTT (note spelling) is, in fact listed. There is a short biography, and her father Dexter is referenced. There is also a picture of Olive posted by a Louis Ruf on 7 January, 2004. His e-mail address is available by clicking on his name link at the bottom left. Louis may be able to provide answers to some of these questions. Naturally, being a PIGGOTT, Olive is beautiful! :-) There are 8 PIGOTT graves recorded for Ohio at: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GSfn=&GSmn=&GSln=pigott&GSiman=1&GSbyrel=all&GSby=&GSdyrel=all&GSdy=&GSst=37&GSob=n If you are not checking Find A Grave, you are possibly missing a GREAT potential tie-in, like this one. If you have not posted your PIGGOTT and other burials on Find A Grave, shame on you. If this helps anyone, please let the list know.

Joe, I made a typo in my last. The painter was Joseph BLACKBURN, & not, as I had in error, BLACKMORE. Chris.

Joe, Portraits of Capt John PIGOTT and Mrs John PIGOTT, painted in oils on canvas by Joseph BLACKMORE in Bermuda in 1752, are on public display in the L.A. County Museum of Art. They were purchased to mark the Museum's 25th anniversary, using funds provided by the America Art Council. Images can be viewed on <http://collectionsonline.lacma.org>. The portraits were offered for sale in 1981 by James MORONEY Inc of New York, who identified Mrs PIGOTT as Fannie JONES. She was almost certainly the daur & 10th child of Francis JONES of Bermuda by his wife Elizabeth DARRELL. Fannie marr John PIGOTT of Bermuda, 1743; she died in England. I have not been able to positively identify Capt John PIGOTT. He may have been related to John PIGOTT, Esq, appointed Collector of Customs, Bermuda, in the Room of John LEWIS, deceased, Mar 1745 [Gentleman's Magazine]; but this John PIGOTT's wife was named as Jane. Thomas PIGOTT (b ca 1695) of Kilcromin, Queen's Co, & of Antigua, W. Indies, had an eldest son John PIGOTT (& named in an Irish deed of 1736), and a daughter who married a LEWIS, which might account for this Bermuda appointment being a family connection. Alternatively, Capt John may have been the son of Robert PIGOTT of Barbadoes (will dated 1743) by his wife Ann LAWRENCE, and named in his uncle Henry LAWRENCE's will dated 1725. Regards, Chris PIGOTT.

Joe, John E.M. PIGOTT was enumerated in the 1881 English Census at London Rd, Sutherland, Frimley, Co Surrrey, as Captain, 66th Regt Active List, aged 31, b Bath; with wife Helen C., aged 33, b East Indies; & two ch'n: 1. Olive W.H. PIGOTT, Scholar, aged 6, b East Indies. 2. Hugh G., aged 3, b Reading, Berks. Hugh P. PIGOTT served as a Lieut., THORNEYCROFT's Mounted Infantry, Boer War, & died at Sanderton Hospital, 12 Nov 1900, of Enteric Fever & Pleurisy, aged 22. [M.I., Thornicraft's - where his father was recorded as Major J.C.M. PIGOTT, late Royal Berkshires, & described elsewhere as Reserve of Officers, Berkshire Regt, at one time D.A.A. & Q.M.G., Southern District.] Q.M.G. was probabaly Quarter-Master General; I am not familiar with D.A.A. One of your 2003 Listers, Gordon BARLOW, I think from the West Indies, recorded the father as Henry Charles Matthew PIGOTT, a son of Lt-Col PIGOTT of Heavitree near Exeter. Regards, Chris PIGOTT.

It isn't that I think they were related I just wondered if it helped anyone... Did anyone follow up on the cook whose surname was PIGGOTT or some variation?

I am getting ready to move to SC and will not find my genealogy notes for some time. Thought I inquire now for a later excursion into the line.
