Hi, From memory
Mary  Ford widow, father Thomas, F W Briggs, labourer, father Robert, married in a private house in Copurhouse, January 19th 1861,
She married John Ford, 31st May 1858 in London.
My Gt grandmother was Charlotte and I have her birthdate as 12th February 1874. (Probably Winnie)
I linked up with  the Murphy family on ancestry who are descended from an unregistered sister Emily born about 1865.
Looking at my notes I'm still not convinced about the deathdate. I have a note next to it which says 65 yr old buried in the Catholic section of West Terrace Cemetery Adelaide. I don't think the catholic bit is likely at that time.  Anyway love to hear anything more.

Hi,

FW Briggs is my 4th Great Grandfather.

The Frederick William Briggs buried in West Tce Cemetery with the Death date of 24/12/1905, was aged 65 years, making his year of birth around 1840.  There is a FW Briggs born in Adelaide to a Henry Briggs and Johanna Buckley in 1840, whose gravesite this most likely is.

There is, however, a Frederick Wynham Briggs buried in West Tce cemetery (gravesite unknown) with the death date of 10/12/1900, aged 74 years, making his birth year around 1825. This does fit in with the birth Year of the FW Briggs from Northumberland with Father Robert Briggs.

I was also looking into leads to Albury Western Australia as his burial place, though nothing confirmed.

Hi Paulrp Davies 51 and Trish
If it is an unmarked grave it may well be a mis-transcription of William for Wyndham. The age and the year of death fits.
I think the other Frederick William may have been his son by his first wife Elizabeth Leigh.

Paul are you a descendent of Mary Ann McEvoy (Ford) or Elizabeth Leigh?

My Grandmother kept a photo of her Granny (Briggs).

If you would like a copy please let me know.

Hi Paul
Just read your message again.
I also have Mary Ann's death certificate.(1917)
When my grandmother's family, the Nugents left Tambellup, she stayed behind in a Nursing Home, her daughter Eliza (Dolly) had married well in Albany.
