Ellesse Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I'm researching my ancestors and have been told that maybe there was a Biggins Brothers who had something to do with the cutlery trade. The person I spoke with seems to think that they had their own business. Is there any way of being able to find anything out about this ? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellesse Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Thank you everyone for these leads. I met a very distant relative last week through Ancestry.com and she had given me this information, but didn't know how to go further with it. I knew that someone on this site would maybe help and you've proved me correct. Many thanks, :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Earby Rose Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I'm researching my ancestors and have been told that maybe there was a Biggins Brothers who had something to do with the cutlery trade. The person I spoke with seems to think that they had their own business. Is there any way of being able to find anything out about this ? My husband's Grandfather George Henry Biggin was a silversmith in Sheffield 1897-1936 and his father before Him Alfred Biggin & Son Arundel Street Sheffield. We are trying to see if their is a link between George Henry Biggin and John Biggin so again any help would be appreciated. Earby Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
