Can you help place these people in our family tree?

    Hi just wondering what the Briggs connection is to your family? I am trying to track down what happened to my Great Grandfather Arthur Alfred Briggs after he and my Great Grandmother separated in approx 1930. Some of the Briggs photos you have seem to have a likeness to my Grandfather Arthur’s son.
    Thanks

    Hi again Rhonda!
    Just took the laptop over to Dad’s, and photo 0158 is my grandfather, Patrick Burke and my uncle, Ted Burke in around 1941.
    I know that the photo has already been identified, but my father is insistent that the man in 0196 is his father, Patrick Burke.
    Photos 0233 is definately Fred Miller & Des. The Aboriginal gentleman was one of the boxers in the tent show, he also features in 0188 (with Uncle Marco) and 0189. Dad doesn’t remember his name though.

    0194 is Harry Rawson Miller and Evelyn May Garretty. This is a wonderful photo; Dad was so pleased to see their faces again!
    He is still looking at the photo’s closely, particularly 0147 – the second young man from the right is Johnny Miller, the same chap from 0145.
    hope this has helped!

    Also, my dad says 0158 is his father, Patrick Burke and dad’s brother, Ted Burke when they went to war. He says 0145 is Johnny Miller, Herb and Dolly’s youngest son. Will probably have more info shortly – Dad is very excited!

  • Crystal Burke

    Hi – I believe the boys in photo 0184 are my father, Robert Burke (little blond fellow) and my uncle, William Burke – aka Bill & Bob the ‘Burke Twins’. They are the sons of Evelyn Miller and Patrick Burke. Not sure where it was taken, probably a showground – I will check with my Dad.
    Thanks

    Think i have recognised “pat” in photo. Looks strikingly like my Aunty Pat – Patricia Maxfield , daughter of Ruby ( nee Briggs) and George. Would make her Zenobia and Johns Great grandaughter. Will confirm with my mother – her sister- and ask if she knows who lady with her is.
