Hi,

I now know my tree on ancestry is correct and two other trees are wrong. They mixing up the details of other Thomas Wigley's

They have Thomas Hugh Wigley born 1828 marrying Jane Ward in 1856 in Coventry and being in Leicestershire in 1861, then mix up there details with Thomas Wigley and Jane Eleanor Wigley and add there census returns.

The Thomas Wigley who married Jane Ward in 1856, dies in 1869 brixworth Dec 1869 brixworth 3b 80. His widow in still there in 1871, in Walgrave Brixworth Northants. Later that year she marries a William Gibson

I found Ralph + family in 1881 by leaving out the surname - and looking through the results till a possible match came up.

Always try using the least possible data if finding people is problemmatical

Yes all those records are then, but not been able to find 1881 and some trees are mixing up the details with Thomas wigley from Leicestershire in 1861, who I think is a different person

Hi,

Trying to find what happened to Jane Eleanor and her husband and children. She married Thomas Henry Wigley in 1867 in Marylebone.Looks like they lived in West Ham in 1890s, can't find the family in 1881. (Can't find Thomas in 1861).
Possible record of Jane Eleamor dying in 1908 but recorded as Eleanor Jane. Not sure what happened to children David Henry born 1869, can't find 1881 census so don't know if survived. Louisa born 1872 not sure what happened to her after 1901
Can anyone help?
Regards
Mark
