Charles Briggs & Betsy Upton St Leonard's Shoreditch

[R Briggs]

Hi I am looking for any information on what happened to Charles Briggs & Betsy Upton who were married in 1798 and had 3 children, living around the St Leonard's, Shoreditch area. Their son William was transported in 1828 to NSW but I cannot find out what happened to Charles and Betsy despite years of looking. Any help would be appreciated. Rhonda

Charles Briggs appeared before the magistrates on 10 Jan 1831 and committed to Newgate pending trial. The London Standard reported the committal procedindgs 11 Jan which included -
"Charles Briggs, jun and Charles Briggs, sen, (father and son), weavers, were yesterday brought before the sitting magistrate......"

Charles, sen, was detained for further investigation re possible counterfeiting charges.

Hi this may be promising, he would be the son, the time frame fits,  William's older brother perhaps. It doesn't mention the father also named Charles. Or what happened to him other then the death sentence. William was transported in 1828 for stealing a handkerchief.
