Wife of Richard WHIGHAM, Richard 79y October 19, 1848 At Genforum: It is possible that your Amelia (1819) is the daughter of Gideon Wickham. Gideon, the son of John Wickham and Thankful Briggs died in Harpersfield I think around 1809. I do not have the information with me now, so apologize for the uncertainty. He did leave a will however. From: Billy.Stranney@nireland.com (William Stranney) Date: Sat, 21 Apr 2001 00:02:58 +0100 Subject: [Scotch-Irish] Whigamstown To: Scotch-Irish-L@rootsweb.com A couple of weeks ago someone was enquiring about the townland of "Whigamstown" in Bright, Co Down. Well, I have lived in Bright all my life and I had'nt a clue where it was. I assumed it was an old and obsolete name which would be difficult to find. However, I happened to put a laminated copy of the following map: Discoverer Series - Strangford Lough 1:50000 Sheet 21 (Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland) on my "study" wall yesterday. Then I looked at it to see all the familiar names and places. There, right in the middle of this area I thought I knew so well, was the word "Whigamstown". I've never heard my family use the name, but it is there all the same. It can be found in Ordnance Survey Sheet 45 (that's the traditional OS sheets). In Griffiths Valuation of 1863 it had 17 properties listed. The names are; Fitsimons(1 mention), Lavery(1), Starkey(3), Stewart(4), Hynes(1), Lowey(1), Ross(1), Denvir(1), McIlheron(1), Hanna(1), Ennis(2). The immediate lessor (agent or landlord) for 13 of the 17 properties was Aubrey De Vere Beauclerk. The family names mentioned in the Tithe Applotment of 1833 for this townland are very similar if not exactly the same. From this map it is possible to see exactly where Whigamstown is. There are other Griffiths evaluation maps with property lot numbers on them which often allow one (if one is prepared to put in the time and effort) to identify the precise location of the properties of individual families. I have done this with my "own" townland and been able to identify all the properties or locations of families who once lived there in 1833, from the information available. This included the identification of family properties that my family either did not know about or had forgotten.
