Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Re: Sarah Ann HOLLIDAY - Birth Record
« on: Sunday 13 December 09 18:42 GMT (UK)  »
I have to say that I'd not attempted to follow William Holliday at the beginning. My friend and I have now looked for some details for him these last few evenings - but nothing. John also doesn't appear on lists of gentry and William does not appear in the trade listings - which really he should, unless of course he was working for someone else and that we would have no way of knowing. I was thinking that if we could identify his town of birth - or family - he may have returned there.

The family went from gentry to poor house in three generations, but 3 & 4 generations on again and I'm sure she'd be proud of us, we're not a bad bunch!! and there are really quite a lot of us all related back to this mysterious woman. I'd be interested to know stories which people have from the other branches - Fred & Ethel, but I have no way of contacting these people.

I'm going to begin looking for William and John, will let you know if I get a breakthrough and if you could let me know anything of interest you stumble upon then that would be appreciated.

Hi Jules,
I've just realised who you are...
My mother passed on a file of information to Carol last year - have you had the opportunity to have a look through this?

We've managed to find a little more information since then and I've resumed working on it once more just this last week.

What was the info you were looking for re Sarah Ann's father?

Gem.

Ah! Fantastic.
Sarah Ann is my great great grandmother too - via Janet Endersby - so which of Janet's children was your relative?

-if you don't mind my asking. We lost touch with some extensions of the family and it would be good to share some of this informaiton

Hi Trish, Sarah Ann is listed as 52 years of age on the 1901 census and this is right bearing in mind she was born in 1850.

Yes I have her on the 1911 census, she is listed only as SA Hirst. Her husband Joseph Hirst died on 9th November 1905 so by this time she is widowed.


Does anyone have information for Sarah Ann's death - or does anyone have photographs of her? I'm not sure how close a relation everyone is to this family line...?

Hi it's good to know that there are other people looking for Sarah Ann's records! I've been working on this family line for a long time now. I think I can probably answer some questions if anyone wants to post some specifics for me.

JulesLK I noticed that you have also followed the Endersby line - are you related to Janet Endersby (nee Holliday)?

I also have family memories / stories which have been passed down this line.

I have spent a long long time trying to find a record for Sarah Ann's death. She married Joseph Hirst and so presumably died as Hirst, but I've managed to turn up nothing from the internet research or archives. If anyone has information on this I would be very grateful...?!!

Would love to share some of this information and gain more   :)
