Thanks Janice that’s really kind of you to do some digging I found a copy of the 1911 census but not the 1921 it was the 1911 that threw up the Leamington connection so the confusion in getting the birth certificate for Martin I will have a look over the week at all the information and see if I...

As I have my tree on ancestry as I am researching my family too I am taking an opportunity to tidy up some records starting with one branch I will probably re instate my paid membership in the winter months when I have a bit more time

Yes it is in county mayo which also appears in my husband’s DNA results dunno maybe I am not on the right path I think if I dig into Martin jnrs life in Aston I know the connection with the eagle foundry is correct and his daughter Elizabeth and son Edward plus the other daughter who wrote the...

Thanks i am getting confused between looking for census dates in the Uk & ireland the irish 1901/1911 are readly available free online oh.. regarding the FMP access i can not seem to register free before i did a free trial but i can not do another on my e mail address

Thanks Alberta I have counted up to about 7 children in their marriage my husbands grandmother was Elizabeth who moved to London and married Cecil Wilson I just have to see if I can find census access after 1921 until Martin and Mary’s deaths in 1935 & 1938 as most of the living children moved...

Thanks Janice I will also wait for some confirmation that the grave is still there as it looks as if martins wife Mary is also buried there in 1938 maybe I will find more Grogan’s as according to the list it’s a popular name but I don’t know if any family connection

I thought his wife might be buried with him but I have no location As Witton is closed to new burials I have tried the council to see if there is a plot number as I know a lot of graves have been removed & I am not sure if there are family cousins etc still in the area that might have kept it...

Yes I noticed that I will check back on the paper records I have , I have found a burial record on find a grave for Martin in 1935 at Witton cemetery but no photo of headstone I will have to see if there is a plan & if the plot is still there

Thanks that would be great as I don’t have a FMP membership only a Ancestry one which is currently only as a guest as it is a bit pricey

Astoness thank you yes I am looking through his WW1 records ( not the clearest copies) & the letters are a nice piece of social history I looked at the leamington connection however I think he was born in Ireland but like most documents things get documented incorrectly I am trying to find his...

Vivienne14 thank you for your kind replies so the family name was GROGAN and it was my husbands Great Grandfather who worked at the eagle foundry he was called Martin originally he came from Ireland he married a MARY DUNLEARY also of Irish decent they married at St Peter’s in Birmingham in 1892...

Has anyone got any links or information on Chester st ( Aston manor) in late 1800’s by husbands grandmother was born there her birth certificate says “back 51” her father originally came from co mayo in Ireland an worked at the eagle foundry as a range fitter he also signed up in the Great War...

Wow…. Thanks it just gives me an idea of the social standards the whole family stayed in and around Aston for many years the father of the family Martin worked at the eagle foundry

Hi my husbands family the GROGAN’S lived at number 81 would have been the late 1800’s as his Gt Uncle never returned from the WW1 & was killed in action in 1917 before he went he worked at a Bicycle factory in Aston (1911) it would be great to see a picture of No 81
