It did take a while to read through it all and try to understand the names changes (Ann/Elizabeth) and ages but got an idea about it. Also to confirm, apparently there were Irish family members, so this could be right with some records I found. Not saying I'm done but a lot further than I was, thanks again everyone. :-D

	maybe the next step on the Lethbridge side would be to buy the marriage certificate for Frank Riggs and Ann to see exactly who she was, her father's name should help a lot. Was she Elizabeth's sister? We know Elizabeth Briers father was Peter. It was illegal to marry dead wife's sister but it happened. It confused me on my tree (especially with the name of Jones!) for years until some kind soul on here found a record which pointed me in that direction. Wife dies & within a year marries sister to have someone to look after the small children.
