I'm a Dignan, and my dad is a Dignan, his parents were both born and raised in Ireland, I was partly named after his mom. But unfortonately my dad's parents have both died. I would like to find out history on my family, find cousins, uncles, aunts, etc., etc., etc. if your a Dignan and like to help email me at ktvs@home.com thenks.

I have some information on the Dignan's. What was your grandparents names from Ireland. Do you know where in Ireland they were from? E-mail me at kmetzs@aol.com

Have you come across any Dignums in your search for Dignans I understand my Gt Gt Uncle Joseph or Ernest Joseph emigrated to
Canada at the beginging of the 1900's he was born in Clapham London around 1880.

Sorry Jan, I can't help you with that one. It could be Dignan. Its an easy name to misread or misspell. Good luck in your search.

My g grandmother on my father's side was an Anne Dignan, who died around 1953/54. She married Bernard McDonald on 31 December 1895 at the Church of Sacred Heart, Bridgeton, Glasgow. don't know if this is of any use or not.

The Dignums are alive and well in the UK, my branch of the family eminate from the East End of London.
I have a family tree going back to 1900 at present. I do have one lead before then but the name changes to Digman??

Hello Thomas
I also have Dignums from the East End of London area. Amelia Dignum born in the late 1870's she married Joseph Good in the late 1890's. Their children Joseph, Millicent, Elizabeth, James, Edith, Harold,David,Constance, twins Edward and George and Kathleen. Have you found any of these names in your family tree.
Thanks

Carol,

The only one that is similar to my list in the 1870 is George Digman c. 1871 and I also have a Thomas Owen Dignum c.1873,and John Dignum c. 1876, mother I think was Susannah Digman (nee Childs)father George Digman c.1852, any good to you?

Tom

Hi Thomas
I'm not sure with your names.I'm in contact with a few relatives and I'm waiting for more info.I have found that Amelia wasn't born in England,she came with her parents as a child and they didn't arrive until after the cenus and that the family was Flemish. I did have a look on the 1881 census and didn't find Thomas Owen,John, George(1852) the George I found in that time period was 1847,or George (1871) I did find a George b 1872 in Battersea,Surry living with parents William and Sarah in Battersea. I also found a George Albert Dignum b 1878 London. Let me know if you would like a copy of the index on Dignum. I'll be in touch when I've found anything new.
Thanks
Carol
