Hi Julie
My name is Lawrie Saggers, and my parents are Wayne Saggers (d.2003) and Janet Saggers. My mother posted a brief message which you replied to about four years ago, and I'm interested in finding out more about the Saggers family line.
Firstly, I saw from your reply that your father was Bevan Walter Saggers. Your father and my father Wayne were indeed first cousins, but my father thought of your father as more of an uncle given their age difference.
My grandfather was Ronald Saggers, however I never met any of his siblings and have very little information about them. As you are the granddaughter of one of my great uncles/aunties, I was hoping for some more information.
I see that my father has a namesake who has posted messages on this forum, who says most of us in NZ are connected to two brothers, James and William Saggers who were sent to Tasmania for theft. There's a family story that my grandfather Ron told me that we were descended from convicts so chances are I could be from this line.
I see that these messages are old, but I'd appreciate any information and I hope this finds you in good health.
