Greetings! I just saw your message. I have no way of knowing if this is a connection but there are too many coincidences to ignore. My mother, Vera (THWAITE) VAUGHAN was born 1909 in Halifax, Yorkshire. Her family's home was in Brighouse. My uncle Savile THWAITE owned a business based in Brighouse called "Briggs & Partner". Savile was the partner. This business was excavation, hauling, heavy this and that. Given that Leeds in just down the road... you get the point. Ralph in California
