Hello Steve, Thanks for getting back to me so promptly & for the information you've provided. So, if you you are descended from David Piggott & Elizabeth Rice, then we must be related as so am I! David was my GGGG Grandfather (I am related to him through his son George William Piggott, b.1818 in Chiswick, d. 1879, Brentford, and married to Harriet Taylor b.1826). Just out of interest, which part of the country do you live in? The vast majority of the Piggott line I've traced so far have come from the Chiswick/Brentford/Isleworth area and I'd be interested to know where any living relatives now live. I have more information on this particular branch of the Piggott family, so if I can help with your research, please let me know. Thanks again Steve, Rebecca _________________________________________________________________ Celeb spotting – Play CelebMashup and win cool prizes https://www.celebmashup.com/index2.html

Hi Rebecca and Steve (and all other list members) If you have not already done so, I heartily recommend that you post ALL of your PIGGOTT and related sidelines on the Lost Cousins web site based on the transcriptions of the free 1881 UK (and Scotland and Canada) or 1880 US census records. The side lines, no matter how remote, are the KEY to finding your living "lost cousins". Most folks have already concentrated all of their tie-in efforts on their main lines, as I myself did. But the beauty of Lost Cousins is that they claim that "most" tie ins come through finding that third cousin twice removed, or great aunt, etc. I have ancestors recorded in all four sets of records, and have so far made 147 entries to the LC database. I have been rewarded by contact with six "cousins". At some point I hope to make contact with that so far elusive "cousin" who can make the solid tie-in for me between my earliest proven ancestor, William PIGGOTT m. Marylebone 1827 to Elizabeth JARVIS, and Drew PIGGOTT m. 1768 to Mary COTTRELL in Sunbury, MSX. By using the exact (including all errors) transcribed entries from the free census records, the Lost Cousins concept is brilliant !! (I only wish that I had thought of it). The data base gives you total opportunity to correct or add whatever additional information that you have developed, such as middle or maiden names, birth dates, etc. It also allows you to indicate which certificates you hold as source documents. As you add families, simply click on the SEARCH button to see if your efforts will be immediately rewarded. :-) I eagerly look forward to that moment when one of you will add that one far out "cousin", who just happens to have married a distant relative of mine.
