WhiffingSiggs Report 31 Jan 2019 22:28

Another loose end.. Elizabeth Richmond (nee Siggs) died 1838 (born 1804). In 1841 census her husband James Abraham Richmond appears to be living with another woman. Their 5 children that I know of have disappeared. Mary Ann 1825, James 1828, John Whiffin 1830, Annette Elizabeth 1834 and Joseph Cracherode 1836. I have found a possible death for Annette in 1858. The others I can't find... Can anyone spot them holed up somewhere ? Thank you :-)

Thanks for all your help, sounds like they were spread to the four winds, a couple of them very young. I've been in touch with Rita Butler some 15 years ago, she is a very distant relative, maiden name Siggs. I will try getting in touch again.
