Frederick Henry 9 BIGELOW


1592C.1171      Frederick Henry 9 BIGELOW, adopted son of   Justus 8 ( Justus 7 , Ebenezer 6 , Amasa 5 , Isaac 4, Isaac 3, Samuel 2, John1 and Susan (COX) BIGELOW, was born 06 July 1882 (1877) at Medford, Nova Scotia. He married Sarah Blanche Pineo. She was the daughter of Abraham and Bessie (Latter) Pineo. She was born 04 April 1898 and died 05/06 December 1969. Frederick was adopted by Justus and Susan and was their only child. Cemetery record of Kings Co., NS shows Frederick was born 1877, but the 1901 Census shows him born 06 July 1882.  His obituary said he was 90 when he died 01 February 1968, so the cemetery record seems more accurate.

From:  "Ian Marriott (Magician)" < magician@ianmarriott.co.uk
This week at the age of 62 yrs I was informed that I was adopted by my grandparents, Herbert George Samuel Marriott and Ellen Rose Marriott. My mother was my "sister".  I obtained my birth certificate only on Thursday, saw my "sister" yesterday and she acknowledged that I am her son.  She met Frederick Vincent Bigelow when he was in the North Nova Scotia Highlanders serving in England.  She was only 15 at the time.  She told me today that Frederick knew that she was pregnant but of course he was killed in 1944.  I was born on 12th January 1945 and my grandmother persuaded my mother to let her and my grandfather adopt me. My newly discovered mother has loaned to me a photograph of Frederick taken in uniform when he was 18. You can imagine that this has been a very exciting week for me.  I should be delighted to hear from you and anyone in the Bigelow family who would like to contact me and can tell me more about my father and his family and/or let me have any photographs etc. I am married, wife Judi, and have two children, Gavin 25 this month who lives in Spain and Clare 21 who is still at home.  My website will tell you a bit about me. I hope to hear from you.  Ian

Comments: After 62 years I have just discovered this week that I am the son of Frederick Vincent Bigelow who died in 1944 aged 18 and my "sister" as I thought until now. I was brought up as the son (unknowingly adopted) of Herbert and Ellen (Nellie) Marriott. I am emailing anyone I can find on the site who I think is appropriate but would be delighted to hear from anyone in the family who would like to get in touch. This is a very exciting time for me having discovered that I am half Canadian. Until now I had no doubts whatsoever as to my parentage.
