New
Bigelow info 2011,
I just found your web site. I have a question - and information -
about dates for Julia Augusta8 Bigelow #16117.612:
1.) Date of Birth: VR of Oxford, p. 17, has birth date of 21 June 1820.
2.) Date of Marriage: Thurston Genealogies, 1635-1892 by Brown
Thurston, Portland, Maine, 1892, p. 457 "#6244. William Harrison
Thurston" has 30 October 1839. (not necessarily correct).
No record in Oxford - entry there is for the intention to marry 3 Aug
1839 (p. 133); marriage possibly in Webster - Julia lived in section of
Oxford that became Webster in 1832. I don't have access to the VR
of Webster, a recent Holbrook publication.
3.) Son Albert Eugene d. 05 April 1864 (Thurston
Genealogies, p. 457)
4.) Julia: d. March 1899 Worcester, Worcester, Mass. - Burial:
Congregational Church Cemetery, Oxford - www.findagrave.com
5. William Harrison Thurston: b. 19 March 1813 Grafton (VR of
Grafton, p. 130) d. March 1900 Worcester, Worcester,
Massachusetts Burial: Congregational Church Cemetery, Oxford
(www.findagrave.com) (place from Thurston Genealogies - Wm and
Julia moved to Worcester in 1885.)
Sources: Thurston Genealogies - both editions - available on Google

Do you have reliable source for dates in #1 and 2? Do the Bigelow
Society records include actual documents, by any lucky chance?
