Hi Annmarie,

Another wee suggestion is Ancestry.com. There's no fees to join and they have a message board dedicated to the surname Wrench.

You might get a connection from one of the other people who are also searching for this name.

God Luck!

Hiya Annmarie,

Have you discovered anything more about your Grand Dad or his parents?

I've just posted a link on the Donegal board about the Congested Districts Board. The article in the link refers to a Mr Wrench, a member of the board, attending a horse show in Belfast in 1897 and meeting a businessman called Alexander Morton who came from Scotland. As a result of their discussion Mr Morton opened a carpet factory in Killybegs. 

I've no further details about Mr Wrench at the moment but am sure there must be a way to find out more about the members of the Congested Districts Board. A book was published by the Four Courts Press in November, 2005 by Ciara Breathnach called "The Congested Districts Board, 1891 - 1923" which might mention Mr Wrench and the role he played on the Board.

The full birth marriage and death indexes are free to search on
http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx

So you should be able to find your grandparents births, marriage etc or at least those that took place in England and Wales!

For example I have looked thru marriages 1946-57.

There is only one Frederick J Wrench
It is Jul/Aug/SEp 1948, Durham S E area, ref 1a 2066
The bride's name is Maureen Glackin

Getting the marriage cert would give you details of each of their fathers.

Their daughter's birth is easy to find - I will post details by PM as she is still alive (I assume). You can go thru the indexes and find all six children if you wish!
