Frederick Briggs

[davies51]

Does anyone have any information on a Frederick Briggs married in South Australia in1861 to a y Anne Ford. When did he come to Australia. Who where his parents. I think he was born in England

[DavidG02]

Married Mary Ford  in 19.1.1861. Mary was born McEvoy

On his marriage details he states Robert Biggs is his father. Frederick was 33 on marriage making him born 1828/27

[jomcd967]

His marriage gives his name as Frederick William Briggs, there is a Frederick William Briggs baptised in Lesbury Northumberland, 12 Oct 1825, to Robert and Ellinor Frances Briggs.

The reason I was searching this is ROBERT and WILLIAM Briggs both name a Daug Margaret Hume Briggs in 1828 and 1828

So to me they were likely Brothers

Thanks for all of that. Frederick Briggs - middle name likely to have been William Died 23 Dec 1905 Melrose South Australia.  I have his parents as Robert and Ann (both born about 1781) but can not verify this. I believe he may have come to Australia in about 1848 but that is a deductive guess, maybe with his grandfather, uncle or brother!!!!!
 
Thanks David we are talking about the same person in SA.

Jo that was helpful although I have his born about 1828. Does anyone have any information about his siblings.

It would appear every second family in Northumberland area was named Briggs!!! and all managed to have John and William in their names!!
