The Broads: Piggin Antecedents |
![]() |
18th century origins of the Piggin family living in the Norfolk Broads east of Norwich | |||
---|---|---|---|
No early research has been done on this family yet, but note that there must have been a Piggin family at Filby in the mid-18th century, going by the vital data reproduced on the Flegg Island website (see below). Possibly this Piggin family derives from the old-established Piggin family of Burlingham. | |||
