Re: Quiggin
In Response To: Re: Quiggin ()

Thanks for responding to my request re Quiggins.
My wife's mother was Kathleen Eunice Quiggin b1901 Douglas daughter of Robert Henry Quiggin and Lizzie Eunice Rothwell (not Leyland as in Internet and marriage 1893 not 1883). Robert Henry was the son of William Thomas Quiggin and Margaret Todd. William Thomas was the son of Robert Quiggin and Mary Todd. Robert was the son of Daniel Quiggin and Margaret Bridson. Daniel was the son of John Quiggin and Margaret Cain. John was the son of Robert Quiggin and Margaret Quayle. Most of this information came from the Internet.
Family legend has it that William Thomas Quiggin ran off with the maid to America. Neither he nor his wife or children appear anywhere in the 1881 census of the British Isles. We wonder if this was about the time of his elopement and if his wife and family were chasing him up! They obviously came back to the Isle of Man. As members of the committee of the Orkney FHS we have access to all the censuses from 1821 to 1891 for all Orkney parishes and will be glad to help anyone seeking relatives here. Thanks.
