I am trying to collect info on the Holloway's who used to live in Healing, Lincolnshire...Albert Holloway died sept 1965 aged 75yrs and Rose Holloway who died May 1967 aged 75yrs..All I have is a photo of the grave..Any help would be greatfully appreciated...

I would try two things - look for a marriage between Albert and Rose around 1910 (that is, if you mean they were married and not siblings). You will need 1837online for this, and it will give you a lot of information about boh their families. Also, look for Albert on the 1901 census - he should be easy enough to find and that will give you a lot to work on. Once you've got the marriage certificate and know Rose's maiden name you can also find her on the 1901.

will answer for Suttontrust, the link to 1837online is below, you will need to register which is free, but to view the actual pages will cost approx 8p each, you have to buy credits from 1837 online by credit card (secure payment) the site is very easy to navigate.
