Could any one help me please. I am trying to find the parents of William Wigley b.1700 (1701)..Derbyshire England. He had a son Obediah b.1732. I am not sure who his wife was but think it was Elizabeth Staton.
Thanks a lot

Click on the database name, and it will take to their tree. You may be lucky and find much information in there tree.

You should email the person if you do find a connection.




There is also some information on the Mormon site, www.familysearch.org, but unfortunately they are all SUBMITTED records, submitted by a members of the LDS church, and unfortunately such submitted records are not to be trusted. You have to find a way of triple checking them!!!
