Hi all
I am looking for info on who is SARAH ANN HARRISON'S Mother.
Sarah Ann was born Harrison Abt Mar 1866, her father's name is Joseph Harrison born about 1817 and her mothers Maiden name is Hollinshead.
Sarah Ann married John Wood abt 1890 and they had a load of children my great grandmother being one of them Born Ada Jane Hollinshead 19 April 1904. Ada Jane married twice, first husband died his name was MADELY and her second husband JOSEPH GIBSON. Ada Jane died 1951.
Sarah Ann died 18th Feb 1930 at 44 peace street, which was the property owned by my family for a very long time.
I have sent for sarah Ann's BC and DC but still awaiting and wondered can anyone shed any light on this and why Sarah Ann and John decided to drop both their names for Sarah Anns mothers maiden name? Additionally I cannot find anything about JOHN WOOD's family
Thank you all in advance

According to Staffordshire BMD Joseph Harrison married Eliza "Holinshead" at Penkridge St Michael in 1841.The GRO Index gives them marrying in the Apr/May/Jun Quarter of 1841 in the Penkridge District of Staffordshire,Volume 17,Page 121.
Regards
William Russell Jones.
-
are you sure it is her? because Sarah Ann was born in wolstanton
-
You are somewhat confused in that Sarah Ann's Birth does indeed show in the Wolstanton District.However all those born in Burslem show as born in the Wolstanton District.I have many such Births in my Tree.

oh i see.... however, i can not see marriages only birth and deaths on GRO index
-
For the marriage in 1841, the spelling is with a single L , as Holinshead.
-
Confusion over birthplace may be explained by the fact that both the Harrison and Holinshead families were "boatmen" according to the marriage entry at Penkridge on 8 June 1841 for Joseph and Eliza.

I can't readily see any information on Eliza.
-
There is a public Tree on Ancestry which includes Thomas Jenkinson Hollinshead and a Sarah Heath as Eliza's parents.Whereas it has Thomas J's death in 1837,it has Sarah dying in 1865 in Penkridge.

Thomas Jenkinson Holinshead was indeed buried at Penkridge - 22 February 1837 aged 54, said to be resident of Fylands. Sarah (Hollingshead) buried at Penkridge 1 February 1865 aged 81.
Interesting to see that there are a number of baptisms, marriages and burials in Staffordshire of Holinshead/Holingshead/Hollingshead with the middle name of Jenkinson. Thomas (1782) being the earliest.
There is a marriage at St James the Great, Audley - 2 February 1807 - by licence - between Thomas Hollinshead and Sarah Heath. The bond and allegation say that both are from Audley, and that Thomas is a Boatman. The bond also mentions John Heath, a Collier.
