Fragmentary Norwich Piggin Family

Descendants of William or Walter PIGGIN of Norwich % Sara --- Note: The 1901 census does have a William and Sarah Piggin, aged 75 and 72 respectively, living at Hapton. They had been at Swardeston in the 1861 and 1871 census with children Rebecca, etc but no Thomas. So they are surely not connected to the Thomas at the right.	I.
