Im not sure if he could be the father, in Pigots 1824 Directory of Ireland, there is a Francis Trigge, Brush and bellows maker at Irish Town, Clonmel, County Tipperary, also in the same Directory there is a James Trigge Brush and bellows maker at Bridge Lane, Clonmel, and a  Thomas Trigge, Brush and Bellows maker at Westgate, Clonmel. In Slaters Directory of Ireland  1846, there is a Thomas Trigge, Brush maker and Flour machine maker at Summerhill, Waterford City.

Hello I just thought you might be interested to know I am also researching the Trigg family of Ireland. My grandmother was Alice Trigg. I've traced her descendants back to Richard Twigg, master brush maker. Her parents I understand were Thomas Trigg and Sarah Megginson. Alice married John Hetherington in 1915. I have some anecdotal info from my family that backs up the Ireland brush maker heritage. I knew of move to Liverpool then the family settling in Sheffield where they are still to this day. Do get in touch.

Hi Comfort I am wondering how your research is going into Richard Trigg born 1815? I believe he is my great grandmother's father. Her name was Sarah Ann Trigg and she was born in SHeffield in 1856. Her daughter, my grandmother, Alice Trigg, was born in Sheffield in 1893. I have grown up with the story of the Trigg family, brush makers,  moving from Ireland to Liverpool in the mid 1800s. They set up a brush factory in Liverpool that burned down after which the family dispersed. If you have any information to share, please do get in touch. Best wishes

Hi Salkeld,
Just read these posts and realised our searches are linked. My GGG Grandfather was Benjamin Trigg, a brush maker born in clonmel around 1820. He ended up in Sheffield by 1841. His daughter Sarah Ann Trigg was born in Staveley Derbyshire in 1846. I am guessing a brother of Richard? Other than a directory entry in Waterford as a brush maker I cannot find any irish records of Benjamin. Would be interested in any light you can shed on the brush making story.. All I ever heard from my grandfather was a vague rumour about some irish roots..
cheers
