    1. [PIGGOTT] "L.B.W." instead?

    3. Joe, Your early posting on George PIGOTT of Otley is a bit of a "stumper" (but I seldom stray outside my crease, so perhaps instead an appeal for l.b.w., trying to dig out a well-delivered yorker). I gather that his wife Ann, recorded with him in 1841, as aged 30+, was probably dead by 1844, & may have been the Ann PIGOTT who died in Sheffield, Mar qtr 1843 (although a bit out of territory, unless visiting for medical treatment?). This is based on the (I think) reasonable assumption (apart from the spouse names, look at the gap in the daughters' ages in 1851) that the Otley marriage in Jun qtr 1844 was George's 2nd, & to an older Mary Ann BROWN, enumerated with him in 1851, aged 48, with her daur Sarah Ann, aged 4, together with her two(presumed) step-daurs - Eliza, aged 17, & Mary, aged 15. But I cannot find an appropriate death for Ann's other daughter, also named Ann, aged 2 weeks/months in 1841, nor any appropriate enumerations for her away from home, & born Otley, in Census returns from 1851 onwards. Yorkshire is not well served by published Registers before 1837. Nor do there appear to be any other PIGOTTs born Knaresborough recorded in English Census returns. So, without his 1st marriage, ca 1832, or a baptism from Knaresborough, ca 1809, we cannot really proceed a lot further without other leads from family sources. Which means I haven't walked yet - still awaiting the video-umpire's decision (with abject apologies to your List's non-cricketing members!) Regards, Chris.
