  • Notes 
    • Early Life
      A few online sources pick William as having been born in 1690 in East Meon, son of Peter. I'm not sure on what basis this is made, as, whilst East Meon is still in Hampshire, it's not in Portsmouth where the Stigant family seems to have been based. This date of birth makes William 30 when he marries Sarah Bound.

      A different William Stigant was born in 1683 (baptised 18 Dec 1683) in Portsmouth, son of William and Mary. This would be another candidate - making him 37 when he married Sarah Bound. Here the age is slightly less comfortable, but the place of birth more obvious.
