Hi, my name is Kevin Briggs and my great grandfather James William Briggs and his wife Hannah (nee Olds settled in South Australia in 1908 with their three sons James, Frederick and my grandfather George Henry Briggs and my GGGG Grandfather Charles was the brother of William Thomas Briggs, I have a copy of the wedding notice of Charles Ellis Briggs and Ann Statham witnessed by Thomas and John Vango his half brothers, Charles his son had the name Vango added in respect of his step father who raised him.
Charles Ellis Briggs parents were Arthur Briggs and Ann Ellis and Arthur's parents were Robert Briggs and Mary Gardiner I can go back a couple more generations, the world just keeps getting smaller as I thought my family were the first Briggs to come to Australia
