This page contains some notes on a family whose origins we are researching. Some families we know more about than others, but we hope that by publishing this summary here we can make contact and exchange data with people who can help to complete the picture.
The Triggs family we are researching came from Devon. We are interested in the following generations of people who bore this surname:
Joseph Triggs and Mary Ryder (married 1748)
Thomas Triggs (1752 - 1840) and Elizabeth Couls (no details known)
Richard Triggs (1789 - 1865) and Elizabeth Joint (c1788 - 1865)
Elizabeth Triggs (1815 - 1894) and Thomas Dawe (1815 - 1875)
Thomas Triggs and Richard Triggs were both born in Modbury, between Plymouth and Kingsbridge in Devon. Richard Triggs was married in Ashburton and lived there for the rest of his life. We also have some information on the Dawe connection, but we know nothing about the origins of the other maternal lines.

There you can see the family relationships as we understand them, together with notes on what we have found in parish registers, census returns and other records.
