Hi All, I am searching for information on a Charles Piggott. He is a bit of a mystery. On my fathers side of the tree, I have an ancestor called Alice Rosalind Charles-Piggott (sometimes written Piggott-Charles). Her mother was called Sarah Charles, and her father was Charles Piggott. This is where the mystery starts as I cannot find any information really over either mother or father. On the birth certificate, there is no father written there. Which I presume would mean that Alice was born outside of wedlock around 1872 in St. Pancras, London. Mother is specified as a Sarah Charles. In 1892 Alice married a John Thompson (also in London), and changed her name to Charles-Thompson. On the marriage certificate, I find a reference to her father. His name is registered as Charles Piggott, occupation, artist. It also says that he is deceased. However, I am unable to find a death certificate, or references in the census', etc to him. I don't know when or where Charles was born, only that he was an artist, and died somewhere before 1892. I can't seem to find any references to brothers or sisters either. So I am at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed. Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance Sarah

Hi Sarah, I am researching the Pigott's of Yorkshire, and I have a Charles Pigott born 1863 in Sheffield he also was an artist, although I have not done any search on this branch as yet, but was wondering could this be the same Charles in question -- did he or maybe someone else decide to add an extra "G" to his name. His parents were William Henry and Sarah ? both born in Sheffield, William was also an artist.I suppose it was possible Charles did move to London. Think it may be worth looking into. If you have anymore questions please don't hesitate to ask.
