New Note 07/26/05:
 I, Rod Bigelow, have a copy of Howe's book signed by Emily Bigelow Ames. It was sold at auction in England and I bought it from a bookseller on the Internet in 2002?. Also enclosed within the pages was a pamphet called "Hide And Go Seek Home", by Ella A. Bigelow, Marlboro, Mass.
Emily Bigelow Ames made notations in Howe that corrects dates for her and siblings plus other info. As well as correcting Ella M. Fisher to Ella A. Fisher. This Ella (Fisher) Bigelow appears to be the author of the pamphlet. She does not correct Howe in the order of George Lambert from Lambert George

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.

    In the October 2000 issue of Forge, Ella A. Bigelow, author of a little book, The Old Master, was identified as Ella (Bigelow) Baker [15182.478]. We have received new information in a letter from George H. ^l1 Bigelow, Jr. [George H. ^l0, George Lambert ⁹, Edward Lambert ⁸, as above] who believes Ella A. Bigelow to be his great-grandmother, Ella Augusta (Fisher) Bigelow, wife of Edward Lambert ⁸ Bigelow [15182.477], who is coincidentally the brother of Ella (Bigelow) Baker.
     Mr. Bigelow writes that Ella Augusta Fisher was born 21 May 1849 at Malden, MA and was the daughter of Ruth H. (Benchley) and Lewis Fisher. She married Edward Lambert Bigelow of Marlborough, MA on 10 January 1877.
     Elaine Lubin of Concord, MA has a copy of the book, The Old Master, which is signed by Ella A. Bigelow, Hide and Seek Home, Marlboro, Mass. Mr. Bigelow's aunt, Elizabeth (Bigelow) Oldham, "Aunt Betty," a granddaughter of Ella (Fisher) Bigelow, lived in England from 1956 until her death in 1983. She wrote a short memoir for her nephew relating her childhood and the family that resided in Marlborough. In this memoir, she talks about the "Hide and Seek Home":

     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.
