Sir William Henry Bragg


Sir William Henry Braggwas born on 2 July 1862 at Westward near Wigton, Cumberland, England, son of Robert John Bragg, merchant navy officer and farmer, and his mother Mary, née Wood. His mother died when he was 7 and, almost isolated him from other children, he was raised by his uncle William Bragg at Market Harborough, Leicestershire.

Sir William Henry Bragg  to Adelaide in 1886 after being accepted into a university also  hoping for a good job and life style.On 1 June 1889 he married Gwendoline Todd , a skilled water-colourist. They had two sons, one of whom was later killed at Gallipoli, and a daughter.

In 1896 Bragg found a thing he called braggs law. This was the structure of an x ray machine that was later invented. He did not invent the machine but his son was the first person to get an x-ray.

Thanks to william everyone can now get x-rays to help them fix broken bones, teeth and other important things.
