Would someone be kind enough to look up the baptism of Thomas Briggs 17 jan 1811 in gumley? I am hoping to find his parents as I am stuck at this point.
I believe that he married Mary Ann Angrave about 1832 possibly at Saddington
Thanks Jean

Hi Jean,
The IGI has a submitted record, so must be treated with caution;
Thomas Briggs christening 7 Jan 1811, Gumley, Leicester
Father: John Briggs
Mother: Hannah Newell
There is also a submitted record for his marriage showing his birth as about 1802, of Saddington. Spouse shown just as Mary.
