Wragg Family History

C

charles wragg

Guest
My name is Charles Wragg and I am currently researching my family history. I have managed to trace my family's history back to around the 1780's finding out that the Wragg family moved from Sheffield, to possibly Derby, and then settled in Birmingham pre-1850.

I am just wondering if anyone out there, has any information on the Wragg's and their history. I would be grateful if you could post any details here or direct me to any useful websites.

At the moment I am stuggling to find the dates of birth for the children of George Wragg 1852 and Betsy Cooke 1852. I realise that Alice Wragg became Alice Dean when she married, and owned a general store in Waterworks Street, Aston, Birmingham.

Thanks.
