Notes



Thomas Bigg (1740)
Extract from Marriage Register, Loose Parish Church. Thomas Bigg of this parish, Bachelor and Mary Harris of this parish, Spinster Married in this Church by Banns 16 July 1770. Banns read 1st, 8th and 15th July. No Thomas Bigg baptisms took place at Loose from 1730 to 1746.



Frances Bigg
In the Family Bible, 'Peirson' is spelt 'Pearson'. 'Pierson' has been used in these records as it is the spelling used in the Parish Register. Peter Pierson of this Parish, Bachelor and Frances Bigg of the same, Spinster. Married in this Church by Banns 12 April 1801, by John Lloyd (Mark of Peter, Frances signed). Witnesses: Ann Bigg, John Bigg.



William Bigg
Extract from Parish Register at Boxley. William Biggs of this parish, Bachelor and Elizabeth Potter of this parish, Spinster. Married in this Church by Banns 7 October 1795 by Geo B...... Rector of Leybourne. The Parish Register at Hadlow gives his age on burial as 35.



Thomas Bigg (1776)
NOTE: I initially thought that the Thomas Bigg who died on 25 Feb 1858 (Cert 70), was the Thomas who was the husband of Ann Catt. However, this was a problem in that Ann died in 1862 and yet her family bible gives no entry for Thomas's death. Also Ann's death is recorded there in the writing of a very old person. Other entries around that period have been included eg John (Ephraim) Bigg died 15 December 1858. (MDB) This supports the theory that Thomas died after Ann (ie after 1862). Now that the census record for 1861 has been found showing both Thomas and Ann living in Shoreditch, it is clear that Thomas did NOT die in 1858! He died in the last quarter of 1862 when living in Shoreditch. Later confirmed that Ann died in Shoreditch too. Addresses: Hadlow 9 Feb 1776 Boxley 12 Nov 1798 Bethnal Green 5 Nov 1815 Bromley, Middlesex 4 Jan 1818 Bromley, Middlesex 19 Mar 1820 Occupations: Clerk in the Custom House 5 Nov 1815 Officer in His Majesty's Customs 4 Jan 1818 Census 1851 - HO 107/1553 folio 120, page 32 1 Jefferies Terrace, Bridge Street East, Mile End Old Town, Tower Hamlets Bigg Thomas Head M 75 Superannuated former HM Customs Kent, Hadlow Ann Wife M 72 Kent, Boxley Census 1861 - RG9/230 folio 17, page 2 2 Market Street, Shoreditch, Tower Hamlets Bigg Thomas Head M 85 Superannuated Custom House Officer Kent, Hadlow Ann Wife M 83 Kent, Boxley SMITH Charles Head M 36 Pewterer Sussex, West Wittering Mary Ann Wife M 43 Kent, Boxley Frances Daug 7 Middx, Finsbury Mary Ann Daug 3 Middx, Finsbury Mary Ann Smith is the daughter of Thomas and Ann, ie is Mary Ann Bigg (b 9 Dec 1817 in Boxley, Kent) Thomas died on 20 Dec 1862 at the grand old age of 86 and according to the death certificate (D107) his daughter, Mary Ann Smith (nee Bigg) was in attendance.

Relationship Notes for Thomas Bigg and Ann Catt
Extract from Parish Register at Boxley Thomas Bigg of this parish, Bachelor and Anne Catt of the same, Spinster. Married in this Church by Banns 12 November 1798 by John Lloyd, curate (Both Signed). Witnesses: Frances Bigg, S.Sratt (Could this be a Catt?) It is interesting to note that although Thomas and Ann were living in other places when their children were born, they came back to Boxley to have them christened. Just like MDB was christened at Christ Church, Southgate although his parents had moved away from the area when they married 10 years before..



John Bigg
John's gravestone can still be seen in the cemetary at Boxley (1988). A photograph taken by MDB exists! (Ref: 88/15/26,27) Several more taken of the church and this gravestone were taken in 2000.
