Hi,
I would be interested if anyone is researching the Gigg's in London, My father, Thomas Charles Gigg came from the St Lukes area of London, he was born in 1869 to a William Gigg and Ann McCullen. William died sometime between 1873 and the 1881 census, because his wife Ann was married to a Thomas Jeffs at the time of the census.

Hi Neisha,
I don't know of any relations from the Hammersmith area, I was born in Tottenham in 1935. My Dad was born in 1869, and came from the Islington area of London, he was born in the parish of St Lukes. There is a chance that we may have some common relative, because as a child I remember a reference to a cousin also named John Gigg, but I am still trying to find more info' on my family.
interesting that you now live in Ipswich, I found a record in the library of Gigge dating back to the 12th century who came from Suffolk, he was possibly of some importance, because there was a reference to a Coat of Arms. Apart from this I don't know where the name originates from.
Good luck with your search.
Regards
John
