There were two George Sprigginses (!) who emigrated to Australia: One was the uncle of the other. George Spriggins and his wife Rebecca came first, followed by his brother James and his family. James's son George Thomas is my great-grandfather. It was the James Sprggins family who came out on the Ganges. The first George also had a son called George Thomas. It gets confusing. Both families settled in Geelong, Victoria. Let me know if you want all the details! There're many Sprigginses in Australia, and we're all related as far as I can tell.
