My grandmother's parents were Frederick Andrews and Anne Birmingham, and she was born in 1876 in Dublin, so were they, both in 1842. He was a pawnbroker.
So far so good.
Frederick's father, according to our family trees (from my uncle, and notes from Adelaide written down by my sister) was called John Andrews. He was also a pawnbroker, and must have been born in about 1820.
We think, in Dublin. Very few members of the family were not born there. It's just possible he came from Northern Ireland, but unlikely.
He was supposed to be the son of another John Andrews who had six sons.This is less certain! There were an awful lot of John Andrews around.
His wife may have been another Ann. Her maiden name isn't known. But the name Watson appears as a middle name in succeeding generations, so is possible........but I can't find any evidence that this is right.
Think I have exhausted the free sites....working on a low budget.
Any info or ideas, please. - Alison
