The story about Ireland could be apocryphal. Be open-minded about Mary's birthplace

A copy of her marriage cert will tell you her father's name, if she knew it

Melanie Report 7 Jan 2015 20:50

I am trying to find any information on my family who lived at 26, vine Street, Hunslet Leeds, particularly my great Grandmother, Mary Jane Towers. I believe she came to this country from Ireland and married my great Grandfather, James Towers and they had children, one being my grandma Jenny Towers. Does anyone know them or have any information about the family or Vine Street around the 1920's/30's.

Any help appreciated
