Hagger Researchers Meet
In March a number of Hagger Researchers met at the North Herts Village Research Group meeting at Kelshall, we then adjourned to the Fox & Duck in Therfield for lunch. Those present on this occasion were Gary Congram & Doreen Oakman who are descended from John Hagger B Abt 1793 in Therfield; Audrey Green & David Robertson are both descended from William Hagger born Abt 1798 in Anstey; Mike Hagger who is descended from Lavender Hagger born abt 1767 in Therfield and Martin Hagger and myself both descended from Henry Hagger born abt 1804 in Therfield.

The on 16th June many of us that met in March once again travelled to Therfield for the annual village fete, on this occasion we were additional joined by a number of other researchers including Della Fitzgerald and her husband Alan, Della is from the same line as Mike Hagger; i.e. Lavender Hagger, born in about 1767 at Therfield. Also there was Owen Welch who is descended from Edward Hagger of Sandon, born about 1814. Although not in the picture we also met Barry Simpson who owns a house in Therfield and is descended, like Marin Hagger, from Alfred born in Therfield in 1845.

DNA Study
Our DNA study now has seven participants and of these it looks as if six could be related, three actually have returned the same results. For two of these Martin and Peter Hagger we have pretty good documentary evidence to show they are related. But recently we had the results of Baden Hagger and his test matches Peter and Martin, Baden lives in Australia and believes his ancestors come from Great Chishall in Essex quite close to Therfield in Hertofordshire where Martin and Peter’s ancestors lived. Hopefully in time we may be able to show a documentary path between the Hgger’s of Therfield and Great Chishall.
