Coneygree Foundry, Tipton
« on: Wednesday 03 May 06 20:17 BST (UK) »
I am currently researching ancestors who were employed at the Coneygree Foundry, Tipton roughly between 1870 and 1900.I have an old map of the area which seems to show more of the Coneygree Coal mining. Can anyone help with a location to this foundry which I suspect may have been located nearer to Dudley Port. Any help or information would be most appreciated

I believe it gives a grid reference to locate the foundry.
If you come across any information about Thomas Adams (born c.1785 and died 1859 Dudley Port).
He was a blast furance manager, iron founder, moulder - can't find his birth record or burial.
Anyway, good luck with your own ewsearch.
Kind regards,

I am looking for information on the foundry in particular William Lewis Graham and David Royce who ran the foundry from 1926, grateful for any info from 1926-1941. W L Graham was my Great Grandfather. He died in 1941.

If you have any information on the foundry or any information on where I can research this please let me know and if I can help you in any way with your own research I will. I note that your post is a couple of years old so you may have found what you were looking for. Please let me know, I would be most interested.

thanks
