>> My ancestor John VIGGOR has so far eluded capture in 1851. In 1841 he

>> Ancestry as VIGGERS).
>>
>> He died in 1857/8 (I have the cert) in Wellington Shropshire but was
>> buried back in Over - the burial record apparently refers to him as
>> 'of Wellington Shropshire'. That sounds like he came from the county,
>> but he had been in Over since 1819 (when he baptised a string of
>> kids) and maybe also in 1803 when one of the older ones seems to have
>> been baptised.
>>
>> The oldest son, also John, was bapt in Whitehaven and fathers
>> occupation is soldier.
>>
>> Wife Jane is still alive in 1851, gives age as 71 and birthplace
>> Liverpool.
>>
>> There is a marriage for a John VIGGOR and Jane FOSTER in Liverpool on
>> the Family Search lab site.
>>
>> My working theory is that John was a member of the Montgomeryshire
>> Militia, who were in Liverpool and Whitehaven at the appropriate dates.
>>
>> So far I havent been able to find John in 1851, which would obviously
>> be a major breakthrough. There are various possibilities, most of
>> which involve stretching credibility a bit.
>>
>> I have found another missing ancestor by using the Find My Past site.
>> All kinds of searches on Ancestry had failed but on FMP he popped up
>> right away.
>>
>> If someone who has a sub has a few minutes to check for John VIGGOR I
>> would be very grateful.
