The one with Disston on it is a Disston , the one with the Kangaroo could be a Sorby.
With out pictures can't tell what type of saw they are.
Could be dovetail ,panel saw ,tenon or carcass saw , meat saw or bone saw.

Gday Craig. You may also want to check out Backsaw.net (http://www.backsaw.net/). A great site all about Sheffield back saws (where your Sorby was made)
