	Minnie's mother died in 1890...... Deaths Mar 1890 (>99%) BRIGGS Mary Alice 34 Bolton 8c 350 Which is probably why she was with her Aunt Lucy in 1891.

	Thankfully FOUND HER! Thank you so much for all your help, Minnie was the daughter of James Briggs although not sure who her mother was. She is shown as living with her step-mother Mary Briggs in the 1911 census, this after James has died. Thank you all for the assistance. <3

	Boy I just read all through and now do know who her mother was and pretty much everything about her, thank you so much. <3
