FEEDBACK
I would be happy to hear from anyone who can add to the story of William Sugg & Co either from personal recollection or through pictures of Sugg products still in use or in collections anywhere in the world.  The aim will be to add these to this site as and when possible with suitable acknowledgement.

When you send information please let me know if I may publish it on this site and if you wish your name to be included with the data or even added to this 'Contacts' section.

SUGG FAMILY GENEALOGY
Whilst I have collected a huge amount of Sugg family data myself, by coincidence my namesake Christopher Sugg has been building a family website using his own researches and that of other Sugg researchers - including my own.  We are convinced that there must be a link between our two lines principally because they both lead back to a small part of Somerset at the end of the 17th century but have so far not been able to close the loop.  Those of you who would like to view this research and/or purchase (very reasonably) a nice little Sugg Migrations booklet should go to
