	Subro, as it is 6 years since Jeff posted, he is probably not looking for a reply. Click on his name to send a message, if he still has the same email address he will be notified.

My Uncle Robert and my late father, William, his twin have extensively researched the Biggar Family history. I have just joined Genes Reunited with view to putting all their hard work onto a public tree. Please contact myself via the chat or Uncle Robert if you have any questions. Regards Sue

	The one found in 1911 would be the one born in Penrith district as Penrith covers Castle Sowerby. Best way to be sure is to order the marriage certificate and go off the age on that.

	This could be him but you would have to check his age on marriage cert and father's name on both certs to confirm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Sep 1902 Biggar William James Penrith 10b 557

	This is the certificate you need. It was registered in the Sept Quarter (the marriage itself could have been July August or Sept ) Marriages Sep 1929 Biggar William J - Griffith Manchester S. 8d 367 Griffith Mary E - Biggar Manchester S. 8d 367

	Although they married in Manchester the isn't a William J. Biggar birth there, so although the name is unusual it's impossible to sort this out without the cert. jan
