Thanks for trying Heywood but as Martha was a bilston girl I would imagine the wedding would have come under Wolverhampton that is unless they married in Walsall.

Thanks anyway

Hi Heywood at last I have the birth cetificate of my Grandmother Winifred Moran who was born at 4 Garden Street Walsall on the 10th August 1882. Her Mothers maiden name is Martha Bradley.

It would appear that Tailoring ran in the Moran family. His wife Martha was also a Seamstress.
Any conncetions in Ireland or elsewhere would be helpful.

Thanks Heywood and Tu2Tu. Information is helpful.
I do know that there were a number of Morans living in Walsall in the late 19th century so it is possible that Thomas originally stayed with relatives. My mother Dora Winfred Warwick lived with her Grandmother Martha Moran for a short tme after the death of her mother Winifred. Martha I beleive came from Bilston, but I have not been able to locate a marriage in that area.
As you comment Tu2Tu the family were tailors and I beleive it is through that job Winifred met my Grandfather who originally as a young man worked in a gents outfitters.
Thanks

Hi Tu Thanks for the info regarding Kilbride. The Thomas Moran I was searching was born about 1841. He came to England sometime in the 1870's. First record I have found is on the 1881 census he married Martha? at walsall in the West Midlands. Their daughter Winifred married my Grandfather Benjamin Warwick in 1906. Unfortunately she died in 1911 after the birth of their second child.
