Just found my paternal G Grandfather was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire abt 1863. He married in Wigan 1889, where he died in a mining accident aged 34. Leaving a wife and 4 children, the youngest Thomas was my grandfather and was 18 mths old at the time.
Thomas had died by the time I was born and the family don't know much about their past as he married into a Catholic family and his family were C of E.
