my Great Grandfather was born in Dublin, he married my Great Grand Mother, in Birmingham, in 1871 and died in 1874... I have no idea why he came to England.. and perhaps I never will.

Remember, the Potato Famine started in Ireland in 1845 - that might have something to do with it. More information may be found here:
