My Grandmother was Martha Ann Morledge, born in Birmingham near Holloway Head. She married Herbert Collins and moved to Mansfield Road, Aston.
Anyone out there know anything about the Morledge family in Birmingham? The family originally came from Breadsall in Derbyshire and I have data back to the late 1500's
 
Hi David,
my mother-in-law is a granddaghter of Adeline Morledge, who was a daughter of Joseph & Annie. Joseph, in turn was the son of William who married Martha Smith. Most of the family seem to be in Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire, but census records show some of the family in Birmingham.

My Mother-in-law has mentioned Garner Morledge, and, I think you mention a Morldge-Garner marriage on a Genealogy website.

Hope to hear form you soon - Kathryn

Thank you Shera, all of the mentioned names are my Great Aunts and uncles and the Eliza at Irving Street may have been my Great Grandmother or her daughter. How did you find these things out?
