| RiD No.: | 1248 |
| Birth | 1883 | |
| Henry's birth date is estimated from 1911 census (age 28). A possible birth registration is in June quarter 1904 in West Ham of a Henry Albert Briggs | ||
| Death | Between 1923 and 1939 | |
| Edith appears in the 1939 Register as a widow, so Henry must have died before the register was taken. The register also shows a Ronald Briggs, who I presume is the son of Edith, and his date of birth is given as the 11th May 1923, so I am assuming that Henry must have died after Ronald was conceived i.e. after about September 1923? At present I have been unable to identify his death registration. | ||
