Hi Margaret
I am not related, but I do have some information on your Great Grandmother’s family from my research on the Gaiger name. I think she was christened on 6 May 1836 at St. Thomas' Church, Winchester, Hampshire. As far as I know she was the eldest daughter.
William and Mathilda married at Houghton on 28 May 1835. He married his second wife Sarah Amey, nee Patience in Winchester in 1859. I have only found records of 8 children. The query I have is with Ellen born 1839 – According to the parish records for her christening, I have her as the daughter of William and Mary Anne Gaiger not William and Mathilda. I can also tell you that William Charles, Mathilda’s brother died in 1868 in the South China Sea whilst serving in the Navy.
Can I also ask how you know William’s father is called James? I have a branch of Gaigers in St. Faith, Winchester with James and Mary as the parents. I do not have a William as their son yet though. William (of William and Mary Anne) was also born around the same time as your William – 1811. It would be great to get proof of this link.
There are a few trees on Ancestry which have very mixed up information for this line of Gaigers. I have posted messages to let people know that they have the wrong information, maybe one day they will change it! The problem was that there were many Gaigers living in Winchester in the 1850s all using a very limited pool of names, so there are a lot of Williams, Marys etc which makes it more difficult to work out which is the right one!
If I can be of any more help, please let me know.
Jo
