Hi Mark, We certainly have a puzzling dilemma here. Hopefully someone on the list has a tie-in. If you have traced any of your lines back to the 1881 census, then posting your information to the Lost Cousins web site might yield you information from a "side line" tie-in. I'm sending you an invitation to join.

I can find NO Edward PIGGOTT (any variant) in Dartford for the 1901 census. I guess it is possible that an Edward PIGGOTT moved to Dartford prior to 1904 when Edith Mabel was born. Or it is possible that she was born outside of England in one of the colonies. Does the certificate indicate where she was born? >The date of birth is 27th February which is a way from January 9th as well. Yes, it certainly is. Too many near coincidences. I found Edwin BARTLEY, born Greenwich, age 1 living in London with family in 1901. Do you need the BARTLEY information? I can send you the actual images of anything that will help you.
