Hi I'm new to this site and am looking for any information on the place my Great Grandfather says he was born: 2 Ashley Place, Bull Ring, Birmingham. He was born on 05OCT1870 or maybe 1872 (I have conflicting info on this). I got the address from the 1921 Census that he filled out.
His name (as we knew it) was Frank ALLEN, father named as John ALLEN (possibly a weaver) and his mother Mary E. ALLEN (I still don't know her maiden name) she was born around 1928 but I'm not sure where. He was very secretive but intimated that he was adopted - this might just mean that his Father died and Mother re-married changing their surname to ALLEN ... or is his Birth surname ALLEN? I just don't know!
Any help would be very greatly appreciated - I've been searching for Frank since I started my Family Tree way back in 1979 - the 1921 Census has just given me a better idea of where he was born and grew up.
Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to read this.
