Families covered: Waggett (Wiggett) of Cork, Waggett of Kitsborough, Waggett of Spittle
| BLG1847 reports that "The orthography of this name has varied at different periods; Wiggett, Waggit, and Waggett: they first settled in Dublin." BLG1847 then mentions the following Mayor Richard and identifies his father-in-law as John Perceval "and it was this connexion that led to the family's locating at Spittle, near Buttevant, co. Cork". BLG1847 does not identify the exact connection between Mayor Richard and the next mentioned, Robert of Spittle. We speculate that Richard was great-uncle of Robert, the connection being as follows. | |||||||||||||||

Provisonally, as it leaves Elizabeth a generation closer to Sir Mathew Deane which we think slightly more likely, we follow BLG1847 which identifies her as | |||||||||||||||
