Biographies

William Charles Piguenit (1836-1914), artist, was born on 27 August 1836 at Hobart Town and baptized on 23 September at St David's Church, eldest son of Frederick Le Geyt Piguenit (d.1886), of Huguenot stock, and his wife Mary Ann, née Igglesden.

For receiving government stores his father had been sentenced to transportation for fourteen years and arrived at Hobart in the Royal George on 18 October 1830. Mary Ann, a girl of good family, followed him and after they were married on 18 February 1833 she ran a school for young ladies. In 1836 Frederick was a clerk in the Convict Department and in 1842 received a free pardon. *
