Siggs, seeking more info..
Henry Siggs, christened 1831 St. Martin in the Fields... Can't find a trace of him after that date. No death, marriage or census that I can tell... Could anyone see anything that I can't? Thanks, I'll look back later, must work !!

Charles Matthew Siggs 1805 to 1855.
Recorded info:
His death 1855.
1851 Census living in Chelsea with family. Wife not recorded on census.
This is also my source for his DOB.
I have a copy of a birth certificate for one of his children (Frederick)recording his wife as Margaret Ohren.
This man is my brick wall. I cannot follow my paternal line until I find out where and when he was born. Does anyone have any advice please?

Just a thoguht


I cannot find a marriage for Charles Matthew and Margaret Ohren


I cannot find a burial for Elizabeth Ann Siggs EXCEPT fort he following one:-

Deaths Mar 1894 (>99%)

Siggs Elizabeth Ann 84 Brighton 2b 159


age 84 at death means born ca 1810.



Is it at all possible that Charles Matthew left his wife, and moved in with Margaret, without marrying her?


Divorce was extremely expensive, and difficult to obtain ....... so many people just moved on when the marriage broke down.
