Re: Joseph Briggs, of Milnshaw Lane, Accrington
Quote:
Joseph Briggs 1813-1846 was indeed in St James Street on 1841 Census occupation Engraver. The next Joseph Briggs 1842-1921 is only 4 years old when his father dies. A bit young to have acquired engraving skills from his father. Joseph Brigg's mother Susan (nee Earnshaw) re-marries 29 Jan 1853 Stephen Sutcliffe following the death of her first husband. On 1861 Census Stephen Sutcliffe is the head of the household at 10 Dutton Street and is a Machine Engraver. Joseph at the age of 18 is living with Stephen and has now acquired the skill of a hand engraver. In less than a year he will marry Elizabeth Ashworth who's father Richard Ashworth (stone mason) is living at 1 Milnshaw. So I suspect that Richard Ashworth and his daughter are the key to the Briggs dynasty arriving in Milnshaw Lane.

Re: Joseph Briggs, of Milnshaw Lane, Accrington
Is there any chance of seeing Martha Briggs diary? I am following Joseph Briggs' life story (he is a distant relative) and wondered if she said anything about the family he married into in the US. Suggestions welcome!

Re: Joseph Briggs, of Milnshaw Lane, Accrington
Hello, The diary is in the possession of a relative in England. Could you tell me how you are related. I have a contact who would be very interested to hear of your connection. A brand new book about Tiffany and the Briggs family is due out later this year.

Re: Joseph Briggs, of Milnshaw Lane, Accrington
I know a Briggs descendant who appears not to be interested in him. I find this sad

Lancashire Life - August 2015 issue
Lancashire Life have given Doug Jackson a nice double-page spread (pages 106/7) in the August issue regarding his book on Joseph Briggs of Accrington and Tiffany glass. http://www.wcmt.org.uk/fellows/news/...nglish-tiffany |
