Ancestors
On the web site you will find a page devoted to Hagg*r ancestors, but unfortunately we have not yet had much input. However, the person many of us Hagg*r Researchers are descended from is Edward Hagger baptised at Therfield in Hertfordshire in 1763. Edward married Sarah Reynolds and died in the workhouse at Bassingbourne in Cambridgeshire in 1840. Edward and Sarah had six children - Thomas, John, Martha, William, Henry and one unknown.
Henry was married twice, first to Ann Anderson and then to Eliza Gilby. In total, he had ten children and we have the following researchers descended from Henry’s children:

Progress so far
With have now completed the capture of Hagg*r and some other variants, births, deaths and marriages from registration to 1949. These are all loaded in our master database (Custodian). The name index in Custodian now has over 18,000 entries, 8,000 more than when we produced the last Newsletter in September 2004. These are not, of course, all separate names, but it gives an idea of the scope of information entered.
The web site lists all the information we currently have loaded.
We still have a lot more data to cleanse and load including: Therfield 1851/61/71 censuses; extract of the 1891 census for England obtained from Ancestry; a great deal of data from the Times Newspaper database and data from the Essex archives.

Our plans include adding to the BDM index information, starting with the completion of the Death index from 1949 to about 2000.
