*Arc TBC* William Biggs - Mary Biggs ( Bellingham)

[rog_bloom]

When checking Biggs family tree yesterday on BCC site i noticed Kdw has entered Mary's surname as Billingham. It was in fact Bellingham -I have a copy of the marriage certificate, as William Biggs was my great Grandfather.In the tree the name of his mother is shown as not known. I can confirm it was Jane Nickless (1813-1873) married 27/5/1832 in Rowley Regis. I hope that this is helpful. I also noticed that the family of his son Joseph is missing my aunt Mary (1911-1995)who was the second of the sisters ,

looking back at older generations the name looks like it started out as billingham

so they kept the older surname and added a note that the surname used Bellingham as well

I will move this over to the Black Country section and we can see if we can fill in any gaps.
