Hi Linda, and Linda, Thank you very much for your responses. In relation to the first mail about A Charles Piggott from Yorkshire, I think he may have been too young. He was born 1863, and Alice was born 1872. But it is quite a co-incidence, and I understand that census information can be off by a good few years, so I will definitely look into it further. The census information on Charles and Sarah sounds really promising. The information, and ideas, you have given would fill in gaps in the jigsaw puzzle quite nicely, I think. I am going to check again the address supplied on the birth certificate. Thank you once again for looking into this for me. It's really appreciated, and I'll keep you informed as to how the search progresses.
