Samuels father was also Samuel Twigge (with an 'e' this time) his parents were Samuel Twigge senior born in Parwich in 1841 - he married Mary Berrisford of Hartington in 1862. Samuel Snr's parents were Esther Twigge (1811 Parwich) and Ralph Allsop (1811 parwich). Ralphs father was a farmer John Allsop who also lived in Parwich. Esther eventually married a widower Edward Goodwin of Hartington in 1858. Edward was born in Carlton, Staffs in 1800 and had married Mary Fern in 1828, had many children.

I believe this George Berrisford was a lay preacher.

If anyone knows of some of these people or have done research on them please let me know.I would really like to know more about these people.
Kind Regards.
