Provo Edwin
It is likely that the Edwin Wagstaff who migrated from Scotland to Provo, Utah is not related to other Wagstaffs of the region. Therefore this is a new branch.
Ogden Elizabeth
Elizabeth Wagstaff Shupe joined the LDS Church in Cambridge, England and migrated to Ogden, Utah. It is likely that all of the Wagstaffs of Northern Bedfordshire and adjacent Cambridgeshire are related.
Please let know if you have further information.
Please let know if you have further information.
Two families in Evanston, Wyoming in 1900 (1900 Census) were headed by a John Wagstaff. Both men were coal miners. One was from Derbeyshire, England. The other, Croydon John, was from Lancashire.
The latter bought a house in Croydon and married Sarah Ann Molyneux (first husband was Willliam Shaw) in 1909. Morgan County probate and property records need to be checked.
Please let me know if you have further information.

1. This blog was started in May 2010.
2. Addition branches of the family have been found.
a. Mary Ann Bullock Wagstaff had a sister, Elizabeth Wagstaff Shupe, who migrated before her and settled in the area of Ogden, Utah.
b. Marie Loveridge who married James Sheen was the daughter of Sarah Wagstaff and grandaughter of John Wagstaff and Elizabeth Larkins. The Sheens settled in Smithfield, Utah and their descendents spread out, e. g., Kaysville and Salem.
c. John Wagstaff married Sarah Ann Molyneux (previously married to Willam Shaw) of Evanston Wyoming in 1909 in Croydon. He was born in Lancashire, England in 1839. He seems to be another branch.
3. We have made several trips to local cemeteries in Utah and Wyoming. We have photographed several hundred headstones. Eventually they will be put up on Find a Grave.
4. I am trying to follow up on info from Willis Peterson about the Bedforshire Wagstaff descendant who was a sculpture and moved to China. He had two sons who died in WWII in the Orient. Anyone have more info? I got a little further info that his son was killed in the British defense of Hong Kong against the Japanese.
5. I am putting hundreds of images into my RootsMagic and hope to have post them here in this blog.
