The Pigou Family

next

This page is by way of a note: many 18th- and 19th-century records and indexes appear to contain the name "Pigon". In almost all cases this will be revealed to be a reference to the Pigou families. At various periods the letters n and u were almost indistinguishable in handwriting. A Pigou family tree has been well researched by Tim Tomlinson in England.

With the kind help of Tim Tomlinson (January 2002) and contributions from Larry Pigou of Blenheim, New Zealand, as well as Elizabeth Pigou-Dennis (December 2004) and Alejandro Milberg (November 2008), I compiled this page to help in distinguishing the Piggin from the Pigou entries. If by chance it should be of help to members of the Pigou family, all the better. False transcriptions of Pigou as "Pigon" can be blamed on a variety of indexers including staff of the General Registry Office (GRO), contributors to the International Genealogical Index (IGI), Vital Records Index (VRI) and the Federation of Family History Societies 1881 Census Index (FFHS) and me: click the button at left if you want to hide the notes about these conflicts.
