This lady is my 3rd great grandmother and was born in Bolton Le Moor. She married John Shaw in 1832 at St. Peters. I am trying discover information about the Briggs family. I believe her father was Robert Briggs but not 100% sure.
Does anyone have a Briggs family tree that includes this family?

A possible on Familysearch Advanced
18th June 1809 Deane by Bolton Robert Briggs to Ann Box ( Mrs )
Robert Briggs was previously married to Mary Hulme on 30th Aug 1802 at Prestwich,Lancashire....I only went back as far as 1805 so there could be other possibilities.....allan

Thank you both. I know Robert married Ann Box but didn't realize he was married another time. I am looking for his occupation, parents, children etc. From the IGI I found Susannah b. 1811, two Williams - one in 1813 and the second in 1815 and Isabel b. in 1818. I couldn't find any more. Susannah married John Shaw on the 4 Nov 1832. I have found only four children for them. Thomas 1835, John Thomas 1838, Jane 1840 and Martha Jane in 1843. Other children? No luck in searching. Marriage and children were in Bolton Le Moor.
Their son John Thomas married Mary Huntington in Cumberland and they had ten children. Eight sons and two daughters. Daughters were named after Mary's family. Some of the sons were named: John Thomas, Thomas, John, also one of his sons was named Robert and another William Briggs. I believe I have the right connection but lots of info is blank.
Thanks again for your help!
