Hi Kris, It looks like we have common ancestors in the Wigmore line. My 3g grandfather was Captain Henry William Wigmore. We also have another interesting connection and out of respect for her I will not make any comment in this post, nothing dastardly, mean or family secret just a surprising connection. I tried to find a way to send an email privately but couldn't. Regards, Carolyn McGrath
