Hii Everyone,
Can anyone help me..
I'm trying to find the parents of either Robert Wigg, Norfolk, abt 1770 & Rachel Philpot 1766, Strumpshaw/ Branstone, Norfolk, England

Ive found Robert Wigg, West Beckham, Norfolk,1766 of Edward Wigg & Elizabeth...

& Robert Wigg, Wymondham, Norfolk, 1774 of Robert Wigg & Sarah Holmes

But there so similiar i cant Figure out which one it is, or they might both be wrong!

Have you tried the Norfolk on line archives site? Google NOAH. He might have left a will ... which might give you some clues.

it was common practice in those days that if a child died, the next one would have the same name - happened in my Dad's family - they had a baby sister Nancy, who sadly died - when the next little girl was born they all said "oh we've got another Nancy, so Nancy she was called"

I No,
Thats why i'm abit confused as to which Robert it was!
You wouldnt think there'd more than one Robert Wigg in Norfolk born about the same sort of date!
