Dear Baigent Family...
I saw your surname on a birth certificate dated 1899 in New York.A Mrs. Baigent is shown as the "person making the report" and if I read the signature correctly, it is your spelling. Residence is shown as "West New Brighton, Staten Island" (New York, USA). This report occurred in July 1899.
I do not know if this was a person related to my ancestor whose surname is Draper, a clerical worker, etc. Good luck, and would love to "hear" from you if our information connects.
