Another descendant has unearthed a single page document that lists descendants of John Brigg. There were obviously a lot more children than we were previously aware of. It may also suggest that there was an earlier marriage since the first child was born a year before John married Maria Hartley. It is thought that this was prepared by Elsie or Maud Briggs - daughters of David who is mentioned at the end of the page.
