Stuck on Great Grandad McMahon - please help!
« on: Sunday 18 November 18 19:25 GMT (UK) »
So, my nan was born 1954 to James McMahon and Rose Saunders (maiden name Jennings). My nans father left when she was young and was never spoken about after. I have found them on electoral rolls from 1949 up to 1957 at the same address in Acton, London. In 1959 they are no longer at that address. My nan has one memory of her father when they were living at Phelps Way in Hayes, London, so we know he lived there too, but up to 1965 (only available until here) they are not at Phelps Way in Hayes, I do not know where they went after 1957 and can't find anything.

My great grandad was Irish and went by Jerry in person but is James on electoral rolls. On my nans birth certificate his occupation is electroplater. This is ALL the info I have on my great grandad! I cannot find him anywhere and unfortunately anyone who would of known him has now passed. Can anyone help me?? :(

Hello,

You already have a thread about James here:
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=802389.

There is an unanswered question there which links with today’s information.
