PIDGEONS; ENG; 1780-1999 Looking for PIDGEONS anywhere. My PIDGEONS came originally from Chard, Somerset, Eng. My great grandfather was Frank PIDGEON.born in Chard. He married Lizzie FISH. They lived in South Wales. He had 8 children William, Florence May, Beat, Phyllis, Ivy, Reginald, Fredrick George and John (Known as Jackie). The only Frank PIDGEON on the 1881 cencus in Dorset was aged 5. My great grandfather was born in November 1875. If the Frank on the census is him, his father was Daniel PIDGEON and his mother Jane. The following are the children of Daniel and Jane PIDGEON, Flora PIGEON (Chr 1859) Hugh PIDGEON (Chr 1863) Anna PIGEON (Chr 1865) Richard PIDGEON or PIGEON (Not shown) (Chr 1872) Frank PIDGEON (Chr 7/11/18750 Bessie (PIDGEON or PIGEON Not Shown) (Chr 1879) Jesse PIGEON (Chr 1857) We know there was a James PIDGEON born after this. My grandad believes there may also have been a Siranne and Arthur but is not sure if this was Franks family or his wife Lizzie's family. They are believed to have emigrated to Australia. If you can help or want info on other PIDGEONs please get in touch. Debbie "DEBORAH HOWELLS" <ljah@howells66.freeserve.co.uk>
