Thread: Look up please

Trying to find Frederick Robert Bignell, undertaker, deceased at time of son's wedding in 1897 in Weybridge Surrey. May have come from Cornwall or Hampshire not sure when born, maybe 1850'ish. Thanks for any leads.

had a quick look on census but cannot find him - as an undertaker. can you give any more info on him eg wifes name, sons name. the more details the easier it is find them

Hi there, I am afraid i know very little else. His son was called Frederick vernon Bignell who was supposed to have been born in Cornwall. I can't find any reference to his mother. I sent for the son's mariage certificate to find the father's name and it says Frederick Robert Bignell deceased, proffession undertaker. I wonder if he had arranged his own funeral!

Thanks anyway.

if so son frederick was born silverstone , northamptonshire (not cornwall) and is an ag labourer.



cant really seem to pin father or son down with any certainty.

I don't think this is right 'cos the other family names don't match up. Thanks anyway.

Sorry, no.The areas involved are definitely Hampshire, Truro, Chertsey, Weybridge. Thanks anyway.
