ive looked to......the boxing site says his birth name was john

Says he was born in Aston but I don't see his birth. Rose

This shows a picture of him on a cigarette card: http://www.gdfcartophily(.)co.uk/item.php/IID/678 And there are some questions about him here: http://archiver.rootsweb(.)com/th/read/ENG-WARKS-BIRMINGHAM/2003-07/1057253415 I think I've given this information before?

Maid Marion, That link to the picture doesn't work. Rose

many thanks that looks about right

Sorry, it did before - when I posted on Garry's thread last year.

im finding this side of the family hard to search as i dont know much about the hoods...apart from what ive heard from my dad

Interesting thing is he was supposed to have a brother Tom who was a boxer also. This birth is at the time when John was supposed to be born: Births Dec 1902 HOOD Thomas Aston 6d 241 Wonder if they were the same person? Rose

Garry, Do you have Clara's marriage cert? This will help you find her in 1901. Rose

i dont sorry
