Hello Dennis:
I have seen your posts about all of the Triggs family and hope you would please help me. Jacob S. Triggs born in 1828 and married to Nancy Jane Lipe was my 2nd great grandfather.They had a number of children. I believe that I know what happened to all of his children except for two:
Sofirie Elizabeth Triggs born 10 Nov. 1864 and married to Henry Black 28 June 1881, and John Fletcher Triggs born 10 Dec. 1858 rumored to have been killed in SD in an Indian attack in the 1880's. Do you additional information on them?
Thank You!
Neil Danielson

James M. & William TRIGGS

vcalzada22 — 2010-12-29 01:00:47Z

I am searching for information on James M. TRIGGS (1872 Iowa) and his wife (unknown). They had a daughter, Eathel A. TRIGGS (GRIM(M), born 30 May 1894 in Missouri. 1900 census finds James and Eathel living with his parents in Kansas. He is a widower.
His father William TRIGGS dies in 1906, assumingly in Kansas. Eathel and her grandmother, Rosetta HAYES TRIGGS, are found living with William and Rosetta's daughter Rose and husband Rufus JOHNSON in Sullivan, Missouri in 1910 census. Eathel's father is not listed and I find no evidence of him in any future census.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, Dennis, tonight is the first night I have started searching for my ancestors, the Triggs family. My grandfather's brother was Glen Triggs and his father was Starling Triggs. I would love to see the photo you have if it would be at all possible to scan it an email it, I would really love to show it to my dad, Roy D Triggs.

My grandpa was Emory M Triggs. I am so amazed at the amount of info you have. It seems most Triggs are in Oklahoma and California now days as far as I can tell... wow, I'm still in shock to find your post.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Rhonda Triggs Cancino

Re: triggs family name

partydancer62 — 2010-09-29 21:29:03Z

Hi
My Triggs came from the Liskeard area of Cornwall, and then St Pancras area of London, I was always told that Triggs was a variant on a viking name, like Trignathion, not sure if that is the correct spelling.
Hope that helps, if you would like to contact me that fine, would like to hear from you.

kind regards

The location that my Mom was born is Chichester Sussex England
I assume her bio parents were from around there too. Her bio father (name unknown) was a steeple chase jockey.

Triggs

lymric4 — 2010-07-06 19:32:35Z

I am trying to find information on my mothers biological parents. All I have is that her mother's maiden name was Triggs. She is also to have two bio brothers, Possibly Arthur and Walter who were sent away in wartime to Canada and one to Australia. They are believed to be 10 to 12 years older than Mom.(born 1925). I don't know if there was a marriage or not. Time frame around for brothers(1912-1915)parents (1890's). If anyone can help this would be great?

Hi Glenn,
I would like to get in touch with you and tried to email you at DARKEPIproductions@hotmail.com but my email was returned to me. Can you please try contacting me at lisaannewright@gmail.com

Thank you for getting in touch with me as I have been struggling to find more details on my Triggs relatives. My Gt Gt Grandmother was Amy Jeanette Triggs born in 1858 in Sandhurst (Bendigo), Victoria. Amy married Thomas Wright in 1881 in Richmond, Victoria. My name is Lisa Wright and I too was born in Victoria, but now live in Qld.

I have a handwritten copy of a letter that Ada Triggs wrote about the Triggs family to her nephew discussing the Triggs family. Unfortunately most of the names have been removed (I don't know why). I do know that our ancestor who first came to Australia was James William/Wilkin Triggs and he and his mother came together after James' father died.

James was apparently born in 1832 in Yarm, England and married Jane/Jeanette Butland in Australia in 1855. Apparently James was an accountant. Ada does mention that the Triggs name goes back to 1662. James' daughters Ada and Amy Triggs went to England to trace the Triggs name and Ada states in the letter that they found a record saying that James Triggs of Thistleworth, married Annie Dillian in 1662. I have also found proof of this record on Ancestry.com.

Basically I have a big gap between James Wilkin Triggs of 1832 and James Triggs of 1662. If you think we are related and have any information at all, I would be most appreciative and happy to share my research with you also.

I hope you have a Merry Christmas and hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Lisa

Sorry, different Triggs. All of mine came from Hampshire and Surrey. We have only got back to 1750 so we dont know where any earlier family came from.

Regards Christine

Re: Triggs Family

lisaannewright — 2009-05-06 03:33:36Z

Hi Christine,
This is a long shot as I am also tracing the Triggs family from England. I don't have many names and dates, my most distant ancestor is James Triggs of Thistleworth, Middlesex, England. He married Annie Dillian in 1662. Apparently one of my Triggs ancestors lived in Clifton, Bristol in the time of Queen Victoria.

In Australia my great grandmother was Amy Jeanette Triggs born 1858. Please let me know if you find a connection.
