hello
I am looking for any information on Sleight and Hollingsworth family.
George Sleight who was a road worker for the council born around 1877 and married Lilly Hollingsworth in 1915 at Basford, Nottingham.
Lily as born Caistor area Lincolnshire around 1895 and died of TB in 1943. We think they had about 15 children.
Dorothy the youngest, born 1934 from Grimsby (My Mum).
Doreen 1933 Caistor,
Ernest 1930 Caistor,
Joyce 1928 Caistor
Joseph William 1926 Caistor who married Ivy,
Annie 1925 Caistor
Harry 1923 Caistor who married a Kathleen May Madden.
George 1920 Sleaford,
May 1919 Sleaford,
These names we are not sure of being siblings of Dorothy sleight.
Mary, Katherine, Barbara, Tom, Timothy, John.
Lily’s father is Thomas Hollingsworth
Georges father is Joseph Sleight, mother Mary Ann Gooding
Joseph father William Sleight. (Both George & William’s name is spelt Slight in the census.
We are looking for most of the names above .
Can anyone help

Anyone interested in Beeston this is a brilliant site full on Beeston history.
Good news, I have found that my family tree connects to this family tree.
Starting at the Hollingworth tree and his first name on this tree is Thomas Hollingworth who is my great grandfather who is married to Mary Ann Moore nee Glenn.
I have found that the name varies between Hollingsworth/Hollingworth.
This tree has 343 individual names and 86 unique surnames,
these are the main names in this family tree.
14 Hollingworth
150 Hudstons
20 Smedleys
26 Dennis
Thank you
