I recently became interested in the Gigg family of Devon as one of my ancestors may have married a Sydney Gigg.
My interest lies in Ann Gigg b 1843 in Membury, unknown father to her 2 children, Mary Jane and Sydney. She then married Charles Bidgood in 1885 and after his death in 1891, may have married a John Harris.
I am looking for info on her son, Sydney William Gigg who may have married Ellen Bidgood in 1892.
Ann and her siblings seem to be without parents as the early censuses have the children living in relatives. In 1881, Ann and her sister Johannah are int he Axminster workhouse, alng with Ann's 2 children. In 1891, Ann is living in my ancestor, Ellen Bidgood and her illg son William Henry "Harry" Bidgood.
Would love to exchange info if you are connected to this line.
Thanks
