I've just noticed some further Pigott details in the book, wih regards church memorials: 'On the east wall of the south transept, placed high and difficult to read, is a memorial to members of the Pigott family, probably associated wth the earlier mentioned Granado Pigott. It Reads:- Near this place lyes interred the body of Robert Pigott Who departed this life 10th February 1757, aged 54 years Also Samuel his son aged 10 days. Also Susan the wife of Robert Pigott who died 7th May 1779 aged 66 years. Also Richard the son of Robert and Sarah who died 8th May 1778 aged 4 years.' > In the > book, any mention of Burkett/Burkitt of Haddenham.. Mary Ann, daughter > of Granado Pigott and Sarah Henry married a Richard. His father John. I'm sure I've seen mention of Burkett/Burkitt but typically I can't find the reference at the moment. I'll have another look. Cheers, PeterP
