[Source]
Extracted by Tina Negus [T.N. presumes that "Piggins Yard" was also built or owned by him. Steel's A Lincolnshire Village states that Piggin rented Cherry Hill Close on Corby Acres from the Ancaster Estate in 1832, but we did not confirm this.
[T.N. also presumes that this William Piggins is William Piggins of Lutton Marsh/Long Sutton and (brother?) to Ann Piggins who married William Boyer, or possibly his son William who married Elizabeth Memmack and was living at Lutton around 1841.]
