Waggitt
name database
While researching
my mother's maiden name I became intrigued with the WAGGITT name.
As I looked up different events related to me I started jotting
down all mention of the name no matter what the spelling. As my
collection increased I decided to start up a database to keep it
straight. Well it just grew from there.
I tried to contact as many people as possible to both collect information
and to share what I had. In the process I have met many wonderful
people.
This database
is only a means to help. Recheck the civil registration numbers
yourself as some of the writing was terrible and where it was too
bad I put a question mark but alas my reading of the numbers may
have been wrong. It will however put you in the right year hopefully.
I live in
Canada and have a very busy life outside genealogy. When I'm not
sure of a location I write down what I know and usually leave the
rest blank if I haven't found time to sort out the where or what
as the names are not that familiar to me. One kind lady pointed
out to me that I had Hexham in Durham !! Mistakes happen but I've
found it to be an amazing resource for my own research.
Please remember
that the spelling of the last name matters so little. I had one
relative have his name spelt four different ways between baptism
and death which is why the list is by given name first.
If you see
a reference to a will and it has a # after it, I have a copy of
the will, if not I only have it on a list.
If you find
your relatives and there is a reference, email me and I will put
you in touch. I try to get a snail mail address as well as they
don't tend to change as often.
PLEASE send
me any information you have that might clarify general entries or
material you would like to share.
And please ask questions if you think I might have more info than
just what is on the list.
Happy hunting
!
