Ive been stuck for a couple of weeks now trawling possible records of parents of great grandfather, John Henry Briggs, born about 1865 in Hollinsend, Intake, Sheffield. He died around 1950. He was married to Elizabeth Ward.
There are so many Briggs on the site I'm using I wondered if anyone had researched this ancestor and could possibly help me please? It would be really appreciated. I'm still learning as I go along.
