Many thanks to you all for your help and input. Sorry for delay in replying.
I do have all on Harriet Eliza and John Hagger .
Yes I have been busy following marriages for both Sarah and Emma/Susan and so far cannot pinpoint them.
I know there was a Sarah Biggs who was born in West Ham area about the same time as my Sarah.
So back to going through every possible marriage for them both, hopefully all will be revealed before too long.
I will also try your suggestion DetEcTive to see if anything comes up there.

Again my thanks to you all for your efforts.

There are quite a few marriages for 'Emma' and 'Sarah' Biggs 1851-1861 - have you tried following them through to see if any are relevant?

If you use the Search All Members Tree on this site, you might find someone researching the same family. If any of the names are listed, send a message (Find out more) to the tree owner to see if they have made any further headway.

I'm researching the Biggs family and have a Sarah bc. 1822 and a Susan 'Emma' bc. 1827 daughters of Joseph and Lydia Biggs.
They had two siblings Joseph 1821 and Harriett 'Eliza' 1824 but I have managed to trace them.
1841 no sign of Sarah but 'Emma' is with 'Eliza' and parents in Loughton.
1851-1861 I have the parents but no sign of Sarah or Emma except for 1851 an Emma Biggs b. Loughton aged 24 needlewoman residing in St. Marylebone?

Does this family ring a bell with anyone? please can you help find what happened to Sarah and 'Emma'?.
Father Joseph I believe died just after the census in 1861 Epping reg which would be correct for Loughton but no sign of Lydia either after this.
Her age varies so much through census 1785-1792 but she was born in Norwich Norfolk acc. to all census.
Any help would be most appreciated :-)

Thank you.
