Rod,
I live in Marlborough MA, bought my house from a Bigelow.
The house has
been in the Bigelow family since they built it in the
1800's. I found a
bunch of stuff in the crawl space that I just donated to the
Marlborough
historical society. But I still have access to it and have
scanned in
pictures of some of it too if you are interested.
I found your website exptremely helpful in researching the people
associated
with the stuff I found so I'd like to provide you with whatever
info you
would like. It appears that the people who lived in this
house started with
Lambert (15182.47), then E.L. (15182.477), then George L. (could
be Lambert
George, 15182.4772 ??), then his son Edward F who is not on your
site born 1911.
Aunt Betty also wrote in her letter that
"Grandmother B. [Ella Fisher Bigelow] had been sent to Germany to
study voice and painting before she was married." She was the
author of the History of Marlborough published in 1910, and
apparently authored other works. Ella died 23 October 1917 and is
buried in Marlborough at "Maplewood." She and Edward Lambert
Bigelow had three children:
i. Emily Marguerite, b 9 Jul1878.
ii. George Lambert, b 22 May 1881.
iii. Edward Fisher, b 1 Jan 1883.
[Note the many discrepancies with The Bigelow Family Genealogy,
Vol. II, which also lists Edward Lambert's wife as "Ella M.
Fisher."]
Ella left two or three diaries which
unfortunately would have been sold at auction in 1984 when Aunt
Betty's estate was settled in England. She had no children and her
husband's family was British. Her memoirs were left to George H.11
Bigelow, Jr. as ''that particular nephew who wanted to learn more
about the Bigelow family history." His father, George H.10
Bigelow, and the younger brother of Elizabeth Bigelow Oldham, had
moved to Cape Cod in 1936 and died in 1966.
Those wishing to learn more about Ella Augusta
(Fisher) Bigelow should seek out the History of Marlborough,
1910, in which there are also many photographs of her.
Eleanor Virginia
(Argali) Bigelow, 92, of Marlborough, died peacefully,
Saturday, Dec. 4, 2010, after a period of declining health.
Born in Marlborough, she was the daughter of the late Luigi and
Brigida (Perini) Argali, and the wife of the late Edward F.
Bigelow, who died in 2002.
A Marlborough resident until moving to Florida several years ago,
she most recently had lived at the family home in Brant Rock.
She is survived by her only son, Edward L. Bigelow, his wife
Lucie, and her grandchildren, Brian, Lindsay and Mark. She is also
survived by her brothers in law, Norman and Robert Wilhemy and
many nieces, nephews and cousins, who she kept in her fondest
memories.
The last surviving member of the Argali family, she was
predeceased by her sisters, Maria, Alice, Dora, Anna, Rose, Rita,
and Irene and her brother, John.
