This Bristol family seems to have been one of the better educated families of Pigeons (as they consistently spelt their name).  Walter Pigeon was a successful solicitor in Bristol.  His eldest son Richard also became a solicitor, while his youngest son Henry became a surgeon.  Richard's son Henry Walter also became a surgeon and Henry's son John Henry was a medical practitioner.

Many living descendants of this family are now to be found in Dagenham, Romford, Colchester and Norwich.

Notes:    ab. = about,  b. = born,  bp. = baptised,  bu. = buried,  d. = died,  m. = married,  + = extramarital relationship.
