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!

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"

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