Hi
Can you tell us what help you need as you have only given info in your post
-
Trying to piece together Emily's (My great Grandmother) family.
It looks like her father was David Holroyd and her mother possibly Elizabeth Robinson cannot find any information about them.
Also William Burt (b1863) parents were possibly George Burt and Elizabeth Foster but again cannot seem to find much out
-
This appears to be the 1891 census for the family - all b Earsdon except Emily
William Burt 26
Emily 24 b Gateshead
Mary A 8
Elizabeth 6
William 2
Margaret 4 Days
