Genealogical Challenge of the Day

 

I wonder if anyone can locate this same family in FamilySearch Family Tree?

    The Isaac Wiggon who is shown on the attachment is probably the Isaac WIGGEN who married Elizabeth Moss(e) at Honing, Norfolk in 1643 - ID MS1H-1FR. Other than that, I have had no relevant results returned so far in a search for this family at Norfolk, during the 1640s-1660s period, using the FIND function.

     

    Time permitting, will keep trying!

    Re: data currently available in FamilySearch's Family Tree on this family

     

    There is no "family" grouping in the Family Tree at this time. There are, however, three entries in the FT for the couple, "Isaac Wiggen" and "Elizabeth Mosse" for the right time period, as follows:

     

    1) MS1H-1FR (also, per Paul W, above)

    2) MSQH-4GP

    3) MSQ4-539

     

    Note: A search in the main page search engine at FamilySearch with the search parameters set as--"Isaac", "Wig*", "Norfolk, England", "1640-1660" reveals only the following:

     

    1) Ann Wiggen chr. 1651 - no parent name[s] recorded; she appears to post-date the Ann Wiggen on the attached printed record you shared bap 1644. I would suggest after examining all the burials from 1644 to 1651, that this could be another "Ann" born to this union/couple.

    2) Robert Wiggen, chr. bap. 1648, son of Isaack

     

    IF by chance you wish to re-construct this family via original parish records, may I strongly recommend you search the Ancestry.co.uk website as they have indexed a staggering 22+ million CMB entries for the county and probably would include all recorded children for them.

    Note: Norfolk County happens to have been or is being indexed extensively by various online sites, including--

     

    FamilySearch.org - 5.1m entries

    Findmypast.co.uk - 6.2m entries

    Ancestry.co.uk - ~22.5m entries

    FreeReg - ? [Note: holds abt 75% coverage for the county)

    TheGenealogist - 3.6m entries

    Genealogy.Doun.org - 300k entries

    Tinstaafl - ?

     

    Success to you in verifying/confirming the details you seek.
