Pidgeons of Stockport

Henry PIDGEON, the third son of John PIDGEON and Joan BOWER of Cullompton [see 1857 Agreement ] travelled north to Cheshire and settled in Stockport where he married a widow, Ann BASKETFIELD (or BASKERVYLE? - see 1764 Agreement).

The majority of Henry’s descendants continued to live in the Stockport area (including Hazel Grove) until about the mid 20^th century. Notable exceptions were (1) the family of his grandson Henry (son of William) which migrated first to Macclesfield in the 1870s and then to Burnley in the 1880s, (2) a great-great-grandson Frank Holt PIDGEON who was reported to have emigrated to Australia but died in Nigeria and (3) a great-great-grandson William Owen PIDGEON (Joe’s father) who first moved to Kidderminster and then settled in Hertfordshire.
