Hello Susan,
Here is some information from the 1851 census that someone had emailed me a few years ago. I was also looking for Trigg or Tragg information. Eliza Trigg or Tragg married James Kibble, my g-grandfather's father.

The census information shows William, 48 and Ann, 44 and their children, Benjamin 21, William 19, Joseph 15, Maria 13, Sara Jane 11, Absalom 9, Eliza 7 [I don't think she is my Eliza], George 4, Priscilla 2 and Mary 5M. Benjamin is listed as a cordwainer. Here is the verbatim info, "1959 0166 151 DRYBROOK TRIGG BENJAMIN SO U 21 CORDWAINER GLS ABINGHALL [ABENHALL] WESTBURY ON SEVERN NEWNHAM.
Is this Benjamin the one you're looking for?

I'm not very savy on these things either.

Good luck,

Nancy

there is no mention of christings in the family bible. I will get in touch with my cousin and ask him to have another look at the date.

Can you double check that the 1870 is not 1840 in the bible sometime the handwriting is not the way we write today !

Does the bible record christenings and deaths ? if so could this Absolom ( assume 1870) have been an infant death.

I'll re-check the census but I'm sure there is only the 1840 Abolom recorded.

Hello.
Re information you sent to me 16th June.
Benjamin Trigg 1825 Ruardean.
I take it that William and Ann are the parents of Benjamin and the others listed are his siblings. Have I got that right?

The infomation I had from family bible has a Absolom Trigg born 17th June 1870, I can not find him on the information you gave me 1871 Hasely Hill?Hill,1881 Hazel Hill.
You also sent information on 17th June subject Emma Meek, There is a Richard wm Meek abt 1866 wifes son I take it this child was born out of wedlock.
Have I got this right so far? I think I am beginning to get the hang of this family tree buisness.
Thanks for you help it is very much appreciated.
Sue.

I don't know whether this is a possibility but there is a marriage for Benjamin Trigg in Mar Quarter 1850 in the Westbury on Severn region, there are three couples on the page and one of the ladies is Mary Kear so a possible wife?

Good luck in your search
