Lab born ireland<br>Margaret " wife m 33 "<br>Bridget " dau u 15 "<br>Michael " son u 13 lab " (my ggf )<br>Mary " dau u 9 "<br>Thomas " son u born warwickshire Aston<br>Mark Donnely boarder m 35 "<br>Mary Giblin boarder m 30 <br>All born in Ireland,apparently a lot of immigrants from Ireland settled in Birmingham, "<br>There is no mention of where in Ireland they came from, from the above I would assume that they moved to England between 1863 and 1870. Mary senior may have been the sister of Michael senior.<br>By 1878 Michael junior had moved to Aston Birmingham where he married my ggm.<br>Can any one please advise on how I can track down either the birth cert.
