Trying to find Coleman

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Dawn Report 7 Aug 2007 21:49

I am trying to find information about my Grandfather John (Jack) Coleman born 1899 in Cork Ireland, his mother's name was either Jane or Ann. On his wedding certificate his father was also John Coleman and his trade was journeyman carpenter. He was taken to the East End of London when very young and due to circumstances was put into a catholic orphange where he grew up. He had an accident in Birmingham about 1928 and met my Grandmother about a year later. He was unable to remember any more as he suffered amnesia after the accident, I have been trying to fill in the missing years, with no success as yet.
