I am looking for the parish Birth record for Joseph Bigg b: abt 1825 in Kimpton, Hertfordshire. Married Alice Day in 1880 ( this was his second wife). Have Census details back to 1841 but in his younger years he was a servant on a farm so is not listed as living with his parents - so I need their names to be able to go back further.
I keep getting stuck on all my lines once I hit before the 1841 Census.

Hi Tan,
Do you have a copy of Joseph's marriage certificate? This should name his father and give us some clues for looking in the census.
Class: HO107; Piece: 1710; Folio: 507; Page: 12 has a Bigg family living in Kimpton:
Eliza Bigg 17
James Bigg 65
Jane Bigg 56
John Bigg 11
Mary Bigg 19
Sophia Bigg 14
If James is named as Joseph's father, this could be the family. Kimpton is not that big a village - even now!
Or....
Class: HO107; Piece: 1710; Folio: 521; Page: 16 - another Bigg family (probably related):
Joseph Bigg 63 - recorded as father-in-law.
Edmund Hawker 39
Edmund Hawker 11
Eliza Hawker 5
Emma Hawker 9
Mary Hawker 34
Saml Hawker 7

Thanks Sandy
You've been busy. What is IGI? On ancestry there are the above records but the birth date doesn't seem to fit. I have a copy of his death record which is right 4 May 1892 but it puts his age at 66 which would make him born in 1826 not 1823.
I will see if I can find the marraige cert, this will hopefully shed some light.

Hi
The IGI stands for International Genealogical Index found on Family Search/LatterDaySaints Web site.
Don't for get sometimes people didn't know birth dates so the ones you have could be wrong, sometimes people lied about their ages as well.
