This branch of the Biggin family lived in Parkwood Springs.  Samuel (c.1807-1867), Joshua (c.1810-1873), and John (c.1817-1870) were brothers.  They apparently managed the Britannia metal department of James Dixon & Sons.  In 1841, Joshua Biggin was living in Harvest Lane.  In 1857, he and Samuel registered an ‘improvement’ in the handles of tea and coffee pots.  Joshua was later listed as a metal smith, Parkwood Springs, with Samuel as a manager (presumably at Dixon’s).  Samuel was buried on 7 January 1867, aged 60, in a dissenter’s grave in Burngreave Cemetery.  He left under £1,000 to his wife Ann and son Henry.  Henry Biggin eventually started his own company.  

John Biggin, ‘manager’, Parkwood Springs, died on 2 November 1870, aged 53.  His unconsecrated burial was in the General Cemetery.  Joshua was the executor of John Brookes (see Brookes & Crookes).  He was also a member of Wicker Congregational Church; and a member of the Town Council, though he retired though illness in 1871.  He died at Elim Place, Vale Road, Parkwood Springs, on 7 January 1873 (aged 62).  He left £600 and property that was then sold.  His wife died only months later on 7 July 1873, aged 60.  His son Samuel Watkinson Biggin died on 1 October 1890, aged 41.  Their remains lie in an unconsecrated grave in the General Cemetery.  The trade mark ‘Joshua Biggin & Co, 1854, Sheffield’ – later used by Edwin Blyde – probably belonged to this firm.
