hi - i know this an old post but Frederick William Aspinall was my Grandad.
Sarah, thank you for your post. I am the originator of this post which I placed when trying to look into my Quinn family line....
Elizabeth Quinn who married to William Frederick Aspinall was the sister of Harriet Quinn who was my grandmother. Sadly, I never knew any of my grandparents as they all passed away too early therefore I was never able to chat & ask about the old family tales.
The father of our grandmothers, Elizabeth & Harriet Quinn, was a man named Oliver Quinn, our great grandfather ~ he was born on 9th May 1858 in Leeds & passed away in Birmingham on 3rd May 1926.
The parents of Oliver Quinn were James Quinn & Mary Waters who were our great, great grandparents.
Have you ever delved into looking into our Quinn family line yourself at all? This line of research proved to be very interesting indeed with several odd events coming to light concerning the lives of James Quinn & Mary Waters with it being Mary who seemed to live a very interesting life leaving us with some mysterious unanswered questions.
I have copies of many old documents & records from which I have been able to build up my knowledge which I will happily share with you should you be interested.
I also have some old family photo's which I could share with you too including some in which your own grandparents feature but sadly don't have one of Oliver Quinn that I can identify. Amongst them is a wedding group photo taken at the marriage of Violet Quinn to William Pitt on their marriage in 1924 (2 years before Oliver died). It's a smashing large family group and I can identify several of the folk but there are several unknowns still needing to be identified for sure. Perhaps you might be able to put a few names to some of the faces?
Thanks again for your post.
