Jesuit priest George LeMaitre first proposed the idea that our Universe is expanding over time. Edwin Hubble provided the first astronomical evidence that LeMaitre was correct.
Jesuit priest Georges LeMaitre did pretty much all the work that resulted in Big Bang Cosmology. His description was "primordial atom;" "the Big Bang" was the description of Fred Hoyle, a vocal opponent of LeMaitre.
The Big bang Theory got of to a start when Edwin Hubble observed that the Universe was expanding. It would only take a thought of logic to know that if the Universe was expanding, there must have been something that had triggered it of at the start. A scientist and Roman Cathloic priest George Lemaitre proposed the idea of the universe being created from "a primeval atom," and when Edwin Hubble realised that the distances to far away galaxies were proportional to their redshifts, this discovery led to the understanding, as i have said above, that all aparent galaxies and galaxy clusters have an apparent direct velocity away from our vantage point, meaning that we are very unpopular from our eyes; the galaxies and clusters are flying away from us at an increased speed the further away from us they are.
No. Hubble provided proof of universal red shift. This showed that the distance between all galaxies in our Universe is expanding at a rate that has been fairly constant for several billion years. Jesuit priest George LeMaitre provided the theoretical framework that predicted what Hubble saw many years later.
Friedmann Theory - Alexander Alexandrovich Friedmann is best known for his pioneering theory that the universe was expanding, governed by a set of equations he developed from Albert Einstein's equations of general relativity, showing that the Universe might be expanding in contrast to the static Universe model advocated by Einstein at that time. From these equations he postulated three Friedmann models describing positive, zero and negative curvature respectively. This dynamic cosmological model of general relativity would come to form the standard for both the Big Bang and Steady State theories. However it was Georges Lemaître, a Belgian physicist and Roman Catholic priest, who, in 1927, independently used Friedmann's equations to propose that the inferred recession of the spiral nebulae (per Edwin Hubble's discovery of 1924) was due to the expansion of the Universe. As such, the Jesuit priest Georges LeMaitre was credited with being the first to mathematically detail a cosmological study now known as the Big Bang.
Abbe Lemaitre originally proposed that the universe began from a singular point. George Gamow expounded on the theory by proposing that the universe was extremely hot and dense at the time, and gave a possible explanation for the formation of elements from the point of the Big Bang.

It was in 1920s, possibly in 1927.
