Looking for any SPRIGINGS or various spellings (SPRIGGINS, SPRIGGENS, SPRINGINS, SPRINGINGS, etc) particularly in St. Albans area beginning in 1700's. Also any SPRIGINGS in areas of Codicote, Watford, Hitchin. My SPRIGINGS ancestors lived in St. Albans and ran a nursery business from 1860's through early 1900's called SPRIGINGS NURSERY. I have over 2000 SPRIGINGS in my database and would love to share any and all information.

Hi my husband is David Kenneth Sprigings, his father is Kenneth George born in Wallasey England in 1939. David's grandfather was William Wallace Sprigings born in Wallasey England in 1899, and his great grandfather was William George Sprigings born in 1857 in England.
We think that David's great great grandfather was Thomas Sprigings born in 1836, but we don't have much info from then.
If any of these people are in your records, could you let me know. I am also happy to share my information.
Regards
David & Marina Sprigings

Marina,
Yes, I have you and your family in my records....I can trace your family line back to a Christopher Sprigings in the late 1600's.
My brother, Ken, and I have been researching the SPRIGINGS family tree for about 7 years. We have figured that there are 3 branches of SPRIGINGS all from Hertfordshire, and figure that they are all related, but we haven't been able to get back far enought to connect them. Your branch seemed to have stayed mostly in England and originated from the Codicote area. Another branch were from the Walkern area and were mostly bricklayers and many from that group went to Australia. The third branch was from St. Albans and the main occupation was nurseryman/gardener. Quite a few from the St. Albans branch went to Canada. I belong to the St. Albans branch, but I have lots of information on your family....in fact I met a few of your relatives on a trip to England a few years back. I would love to share information.

I received your message and also replied, but apprently you have not received that. Yes, I am still doing genealogy research on my Sprigings/Spriggins family. Please contact me at pdominicci@gmail.com. I have lots of info to share. Your Eliza Sprigings is the half sister of my great great grandfather, David Sprigings.

your message is years old, but I have just seen it. I have a Sprigings tree going back to the 1600s in Herts. My grandfather Percy was the brother of your William George and he died in Percy's house. My great grandfather was the Thomas you refer to, his father was George, chr. Jan 1809 in Codicote, Herts. Let me know if you want more.
Jennifer, nee Sprigings

I have a lot of Sprigings data from Hertfordshire going back to a marriage in 1697 of John s. & Penelope Wilson at St. Albans (my forebears). For about 150 years they stayed in Herts, then they spread out towards Portsmouth and up the middle of the country, via Worcs. Staffs, Wales to Cheshire, Lancs & the Yorkshire Dales.
Which branches are you researching?
Best wishes,
Jennifer

Dear Jennifer,
Are you Jennifer Forsythe who lives in Cumbria? If so we have a mutual contact, a Patricia Dominicci in America, who mentioned a Sprigings family reunion in May 1999. I made contact with her earlier this year, when I started to research my Mother's family line. My husband and I have done much research over the years of his line and my cousin has traced my Father's line back to the early 1600s.
My Sprigings relative was my great grandmother Eliza Sprigings, daughter of George F Sprigings and Elizabeth Logan. Eliza had two brothers William and Edward and a sister Charlotte who did not marry. William and Edward went to Canada, according to Patricia and I have been hoping to get in touch with gerry Sprigings who is a descendent of Edward, but unfortunately both he and his wife have become very ill of late.

My line Eliza m. William Tidd and they had a daughter Martha who married my Grandfather george Allen. They lived all their lives in Wheathampstead and had a number of children, all males exept my Mother who was very much the youngest of the family: Mary Elizabeth Allen, known as Molly. She married my Father, Gordon george Defriez and I am one of two children, Elizabeth ann ( Liz) and my brother Richard George. We lived in the Harpenden, St.Albans areas, bringing up children, until retirement has brought us to the Essex/Suffolk borders 5 years ago.

I have tried to bring down, as well as go back the family lines and I have got back to a possible Richard and Susan Brewer who married in 1714 at St.Stephens. She was a widow and I think they had a son Richard who married a Susan Folks, but I cannot find his birth in the parish registers. Going back further I am not at all sure and was interested to hear of your research; would enjoy hearing the family lines back please as well as forward! Which line do you originate from? There seems to be so many as I think George Fredwerick and two of his three wives produced many offspring. I have tried to bring these lines down, but seem to have come to many stumbling blocks, mainly due to lack of evidence I suspect, using Ancestry.
Patricia did not think there were any more St.Albans Sprigings family members in England, so I am delighted to hear of a distant relation living in the UK?

Hope to hear more from you Jennifer.
Best wishes,

Liz Reed
