Hi Joe, I have some more information relating to Chris' last posting. Hopefully it corresponds with the information he has. Perry Pigott of Ely was a distant cousin to my Pigotts of Ely. Perry and his wife Alice had a daughter Ann Pigott b. 1806 Ely Holy Trinity. So I presume that this is the Ann Knowles Chris found in the 1841 Census. I've seen mention of Perry Pigotts from the London area but I haven't looked for a connection between the London Perrys and the Ely Perrys. - John Pigott b. 1668 Ely was the son of Richard & Margaret Pigott. Married to Elizabeth. - John Pigott b. 1701 Ely was the son of John & Elizabeth Pigott. Married to Hannah. I'm not sure if this is the John Pigott of Ely who was a cordwainer. John had a brother christened 'Pargrindine" - thought that this might be a miss-spelling of Peregrine? - Perry Pigott b. 1737 Ely was the son of John & Hannah Pigott. Married to Rebecca Butty. - Perry Pigott b. 1770 Ely was the son of Perry & Rebecca Pigott. Married to Alice. Yes Chris did post his Pigott brickmakers of Ely. I was wondering if Chris could look for a reference to the above mentioned Richard Pigott (who I'm pretty sure I'm related to) as a brickmaker (I believe he was born in 1626). I found a record of a Richard Pigott of Ely's burial in 1676 and thought that this must be him but it doesn't give his occupation. I know that Margaret his wife died a widow in 1678. I tried to find out if I was connected to the brickmaker Pigotts but if there was a connection it was before 1600. The brickmaker Pigotts of Ely I have are: William b. 1594. d. 1648 Brickmaker. m.. Eliz. Malden 1619. Children: 1. John b. 1619 d. 1673 Brickmaker. m. Margt. Lawrence 1653 2. Sarah 1619 3. Mary 1618 4. Eliz. 1620 5. Martha 1625 d. 1630? 6. Sarah 1627 7. William 1629 d. 1687? Referred to on burial record as 'Mr". Other records for the brickmakers refer to them as "Mr Brickmaker" So I was wondering if William was also a brickmaker? 8. Robert 1631 d. 1700 Brickmaker. m. Mary Croxton 1667 9. Catherine 1630 10. Martha 1633 11. Prudence 1634 12. Esther 1639 d. 1639 Children of John & Margaret (Lawrence) Pigott: 1. William 1659 d. 1714 Brickmaker m. Ann Knowles 1684 2. Richard 1662 d. 1683? 3. Henry 1661 m. Bridget Legerton 1686 4. Mary 1664 Children of Robert and Mary (Croxton) Pigott: 1. Elizabeth 1668 2. Sarah 1679 3. Anne 1679 Children of William and Ann (Knowles) Pigott: 1. Richard 1685 d. 1741? "Mr. Brickmaker" 2. Elizabeth 1687 3. Margaret 1689 4. Martha 1691 5. John 1698 m. Sarah Fortinton 1721? 6. Mary 1695 7. Sarah 1700 d. 1709 8. Nicholas 1706 d. 1761 Glazier ("one of the Church Wardens") Children of Henry & Bridget (Legerton) Pigott: 1. John 1690 2. Richard 1687 d. 1687. I have had a confusing time trying to place the various Richard Pigotts of Ely. I remember coming across a reference to Richard Pigott the son of Henry and Bridget as having married (possibly on the IGI website). But I have a burial record for a Richard Pigott inf. in 1687. I can't imagine that this could be Richard Pigott b. 1685 (son of William and Ann) so I have assumed that this Richard Pigott infant is Henry and Bridget's son. Jen
