Find Ancestors

I am trying to establish the connection between my Wagstaff family of Upper Caldecote and that of Beeston, both hamlets around theh parish of Northill, Bedfordshire. Albert Edwin Wagstaff died aged 90 at Beeston when I was a child living close to him. My mother (born a Wagstaff) was born at Upper Caldecote. Both of their fathers lived at Brookend, another hamlet of Northill and close to a parcel of land called Wagstaff's Field. Albert was twice married; had two children by his first marriage; the grandson (Brian) was living at Moggerhanger, the adjoining parish to Northill. The Wagstaffs of Northill came from Potton; having moved from Wilden during the 17th century. The Wagstaffs of Potton Manor were also part of the large Potton family. Any help would be appreciated. This is all part of my quest to trace all living descendants of John & Elizabeth Wagstaff of Northill which includes their Wagstaff descendants now living in Utah, W. Ausrtalia and Scotland.

Hello Roger
Although I can't help with your search for a connection between the Wagstaffs of Caldecott and Beeston I am interested in the Wagstaffs who travelled to Utah. My interest is in Ruth Wagstaff (1847-1914) who was the daughter of Samuel Wagstaff and Mariah Lucy Webb. Ruth emigrated with her parents and became the plural wife of George Jacklin (1842-1906). They married at American Fork, Utah in 1862. I have a fair amount of info on this family. Let me know if you are interested
