David Briggs - unpleasant death 1934

[rittrock]

I emailed some local newsdesks but none replied. Just in case, I wonder if anyone remembers the journalist Cyril Briggs or his Briggs family. Cyril is probably the man who died in 1992.

Tony Gubba's link with the Cyril Briggs Press Agency might ring some bells; the tendency of journalists to adopt noms de plume might obscure things.

thanks

Not sure this is the one you referred to - Cyril Briggs - Sports Journalist

Yes that's where I started - see the first post in this chain.
David's parents (Cyril's grandparents) must have moved from Ireland - married 1873.
cheers
