Leicestershire England Query Forum http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/England/Leicestershire?read=714 Family from Leicester Posted by Gary MacMullen <Biddmacmullen@aol.com> on Sun, 09 Jul 2000 Surname: Briggs, Cooley or Coolie, Foxon, Woodcock I am looking for information about my great grandparents from Leicester England and any earlier history as well. William Briggs and his second wife Edith would have moved to the USA around 1900-1910. His first wife was Fanny Coolie (sp?) They had one son Herbert. William owned a fish market as I recall from my grandfather. My grandmother was also born in Leicester and her parents were William Foxon and Julia Woodcock. I believe they stayed in Leicester. My grandmother would have been born in 1900 so that should provide a frame of reference. thank you for any help that anyone can provide.
