Daisy Kirby and Thomas Trigg

Daisy Kirby (1876-1934) was the daughter of John Kirby (1838-ab. 1883) and Elizabeth Gardener (1841-1918) and the sister of Eliza Kirby and Charles Kirby, both covered in other posts.

Daisy married Thomas Robinson Trigg ( 1877-1933), born in Gloustershire but probably attracted to Birmingham’s thriving industrial developments.  They had two children born in Birmingham, William Trigg (born about 1903) and Gladys Lucy Trigg (born August 15, 1902).   In 19o6 Thomas Trigg moved to Canada, stating his destination as Winnipeg, probably to find work and housing.   In 1907,  Daisy and the two children followed him to Canada and the ship manifest gives her destination as Broadview, SK.  In April, 1910 they left Canada, entering the USA through North Dakota and settling in Lyme, Ohio where Thomas had family.

In 1901 Thomas and Daisy lived with his brother George and next door to Daisy’s mother (Eliza Kirby) are two brothers William and Charles and sister Eliza.  In June, 1906 Thomas and Charles headed for Canada while George and his brother James headed for New York in May, 1906 and then to Ohio where members of the Carter family lived.

Gladys Lucy Trigg married Lonzo Ernest Hudson (1891-1924) and they lived in the Norwalk area of Ohio.   I am still trying to trace their children but feel confident they had two children: Lois E. Hudson and June B. Hudson.

The Trigg family:  Samual Trigg (1848-) and Eliza Carter had several children:  James Trigg (1886-1963), Thomas Trigg (1877-1933), Ellen M. Trigg (1879-),George W. Trigg (1883-), Edwin Trigg (1872-), Joseph N. Trigg (1874-),  John Samual Trigg (1885-), Florence Trigg (1894-) and Gladys Trigg (1892-).   At least three of the children moved to Ohio.
