Pidgeon family history |
|||||
|
These pages attempt to illustrate the history of Pidgeon families around the world. Originating in England and Ireland, the name has spread to many English-speaking countries such as the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The story is far from complete and is developing continuously. If you belong or are related to a Pidgeon family which is not represented in these pages, or can add information to those which are, please contact me. Please note that all spellings of the name are included, for example Pigeon, Pidgen and even Pygion. The object of this project is to build up a picture of the migration of Pidgeon families from their early origins in various parts of England - Devon, Shropshire, Norfolk, etc. To do this, it is first necessary to search back in history as far as possible to find out where our ancestors came from, and also to see if all Pidgeons which came from one of these regions were related. Then it is necessary to find out how far and wide these original families have spread. Most of the information on different Pidgeon families is displayed on family trees. Some of them are quite long and take a few moments to download, so please be patient. In the future it is hoped to "add flesh to the bones" of the trees by writing more descriptively about the various families and for this more information (than just births, marriages and deaths) will be needed. |

Old-style dates before 1752 on this web-site are indicated, for example, as: 1st Jan, 1745/6. This date followed 31st Dec, 1745 in the old-style year which ran from 25th March to 24th March, but would have been in 1746 in the new-style calendar which was only introduced in England in 1752.
