Title: Service Workman
Post by: drayto on Tuesday 14 December 10 08:17 GMT (UK)

William Seervice Workman married  Margaret Workman Orr in Fenwick Ayrshire in 1870 but his family were all born Belfast. The family were connected with shipping. I would love to hear from  any connections!!
TIA  Drayto

There are lots of online resources that might help you find more information on this Workman family- 1901/1911 census, civil registration index, directories, Wills, etc. If you are looking for anything in particular give us more details and we'll try to help.
