This led us to presume that Thomas married twice.

  Elizabeth Piggin
% Richard Ufton (not Upton!) 1723
she is mentioned in several wills from Crich. She appears to have died 1729 and Richard Ufton (re-?)married Mary Piggin in 1733 in Duffield. Originally Tina thought Elizabeth was a daughter of Joseph Piggin as well, but that Elizabeth married George Walker according to that Elizabeth's mother's will, so who was this Elizabeth Piggin? Two possibilities spring to mind: Elizabeth born 1706 in Bottesford (by Tina's reckoning a cousin to Mary Piggin who later married Richard Ufton), or Elizabeth *1701 at Heanor. Take your pick.

The above is based on a chart (number 1 in my index) compiled in 1995 by Tina Negus.

The Crich website, Parish Registers and Other Aspects of Crich, which was compiled by Alan S. Flint dealing with Crich and its history has now been absorbed into the new Crich Website administered by Peter Patilla. I recommend you look at this for more Crich stories.
