| Note | Five of the children of Martha and Robert Wiggins were baptized the same day, 10 May, 1855, at Woodhouse Township, per page 141 of the Wesleyan Methodist Baptisms. The whole page shows the baptisms to be in the Talbot District, though by 1855 this was actually Norfolk County. Robert Hervey's date of birth appears on his baptism record as 19 April, 1850, in Windham Township. This is rather one off, for the baptisms for his siblings show their places of birth as Burford, earlier, or Woodhouse, later. |
