Hi List, I have been toying with an idea to help other PIGGOTT researchers. Many of us have spent a good deal of money retrieving BMD certificates. I myself have a book of them from my English ancestors. Although I currently know of no other person outside of my immediate family who is researching my line, at some point someone may just "show up" unexpectedly. I own and control several domain names, and have two domains live on the internet for business reasons other than genealogy. (Yes, there IS a life after genealogy) :-) I am considering putting digital scans of BMDs on line for PIGGOTT listers to retrieve BMDs, and to contribute their own digital scans. In my opinion, if a lister were to retrieve only ONE BMD in this way, the cost savings would make it worthwhile. This idea came to me as I muddled through the large families associated with Clavering, Essex and noted how many BMD certificates are required for proper source documentation of the various lines. HOWEVER, there are many listers who have, as yet, not even posted their basic interests for us to see, to try to tie in to, and to try to help. I administer this list to foster sharing of information, and I do so willingly. I would expect the same consideration for freely exchanging BMDs that a researcher spent with hard earned cash to obtain. Therefore, I would closely control access to this web site, allowing only those listers who contribute BMD digital scans to access and retrieve other listers' contributions. This makes sense to me; how about you? I would appreciate a PRIVATE e-mail, OFF LIST, from any list member holding BMDs from PIGGOTTs and key sidelines world wide who would be willing to support this effort.

It looks like this is the bit that connects Henry Piggot who died in Ontario 1912 and Marshall Piggott who was murdered in 1884. I will soon search the 1861 census in case it gives me additional information. Henry, who died in 1912, is, I believe, the son listed here as 15 years old. This looks like a second marriage for Henry senior. William Piggott would seem to be an older son, a brother to young Henry. William and wife Livinia are living next door to Henry senior and family. As Joe showed earlier, Marshall was the son of William Piggott and Livinia House. Their son, Charles H. Piggott, the future builder of "Piggott's Folly", an historical building in Portland Oregon, is listed. Young Henry's age is shown as a bit older than a birthdate of 1840 would indicate, however, these are the only Piggotts of North Dorchester I could find in the 1851 Census (actually taken in 1852), and I feel this is most likely the family we are looking for. 1851 Canada Census Ontario/Middlesex County / Dorchester Part 1 -(North) / 1 Henry Piggott Farmer b.
