Hello Everyone,
Many thanks for having me. This is all very new to me and I hope I'm doing this correctly!
I am originally from 'The Lye' but have connections with Quarry Bank, Cradley Heath and Netherton. I'm currently living in Kinver.
My family on my mother's side were very much involved in the chain making industry and after a spot of Googling, I was amazed to find part of what I think is my grandfather's family tree. His name was Cornelius Dunn and I know he was one of a large family living in the Quarry Bank area. It would appear that he was the son of Rebecca Cooper and Noah Dunn. I recognise some of the names of his siblings but others, I have never heard of. Thus, I'm not entirely sure if I have the correct person. My grandpa married Lily Willetts but so far, I can find no trace of her.
I'm not sure how much information to include on a first post so I'm going to leave it there!
Once again, thank you.

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.

Hi Angela,
I hope you enjoy the forum and our company.
Theres a section dedicated for the Black Country, may be if you add your names we can help look? That Dunn family has just recently been looked into.
Jo :)

Hi Angie welcome to the forum
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
