Biggs and Tweed families

For the last year I have been researching part-time the Big/ Bigg/Biggs/Bygges families from around Glemsford, Stanstead, BSE, Lavenham, Preston, Nayland amongst a few Villages.

I already had about 800 Descendents from my Bigg =Tweed Tree, then I found about 900 on Ray Long's Cosford Database.

I have collated the IGI entries, Ancestry's Parish and Probate Records, Boyds Marriage Indexes and the NBI. I have also trawled the web for info and contacted just about every Bigg researcher on Genes Reunited and Rootsweb World Connect Project.

Lots of people have added to the info I have and I have been able to add more from the Censuses and able to make quite a few new links.

However there are still lots of loose ends.

So if anyone has any Bigg connections I would be happy to hear from them

I also wish to ask if you know of any way of finding out a persons 'Trade' before 1800. I have a Samuel Bigg Born Abt 1761 Stanstead and two of his sons, Ambrose and William Bigg(s) were ' Cutlers' and it would be nice to find that this was the trade of the father.
