Member Since: December 2004 Posts: 15 Send Message	can anyne help me. My paternal grandfather was born in B'ham workhouse in 1880. His mother Elizabeth Brooks is listed also in 1881 census. I know he had a older sister called Polly. No trace under that name could anyone suggest what her name would be to be called Polly by her family?
