Lancashire / Re: HOLLOWOOD from Ardwick

Thank you all for your replies. It looks like George didn't stay very long with Sarah Ellen but then lived with Martha and had another family!

I couldn't find a marriage for him to Martha either.

Thanks again

Lancashire / HOLLOWOOD from Ardwick
« on: Thursday 13 November 25 11:22 GMT (UK)  »
George and Sarah Ellen (Williams) were married in 1882 in Ardwick. George was a nut and bolt maker. His father is named as George a collier. (from Lancs Parish Clerks)

William Edward was born in 1883 and when baptised George was an engineer. Thomas Gilbert was born in  1889 and when baptised George was a fireman.

The 1891 shows Sarah Ellen and their 2 children living with her parents at 5 Leigh Avenue. It states she is married.

I cannot find George so I don't know when or where he was born.

I found a George Hollowood in 1881 in Ardwick a labourer in iron works, born in Darleston but I think I've found him in 1891 married to Martha with a son George.

Just hoping someone can solve the mystery for me.

I had found that Henry Joseph had named a daughter Violet and when I found her in the children's home in 1870 I thought it could be his sister. I never assume that family trees on sites are correct as I have seen so many mistakes. I like to do my own research and then compare.

Thanks again for your help

Presbyterian Church Philadelphia

Martha Jane Young
Elizabeth Young
Wilhilmina Young
Violet Young

were all baptised  27 September 1867 daughters of Charles M Young and Martha


Thanks for finding these baptisms. I thought Henry's father's name was Edwin so maybe these aren't his siblings. Will ask my friend if she wants to go any further.

Not every place in the US required birth records that early, and even in the places that had them, people weren't always consistent with civil registration of the births.  So it could be hit or miss as to whether those birth records exist.  Sometimes baptism records can be found instead, but not always.

Do you have the name of Henry's parents from any other source?  If not, you could try ordering the marriage record from the NJ state archives.  https://wwwdnet-dos.nj.gov/DOS_ArchivesDBPortal/index.aspx  (Their index has Hannah's surname transcribed as Gruner.)  With a common name like Henry Young, it would be better to have specific information that you are more certain is him rather than guessing which birth record might be him and potentially going up the wrong tree.

Many thanks for the information you have provided. I'm helping a friend so will ask her if she wants to continue with the search.

I'm new to researching American records (I live in England) and have found it difficult to find birth records. I'm looking for Henry Joseph Young born 1861 in Philadelphia. There is a record on Family Search that lists his parents as Edwin and Sarah I (?) Young but I've not been able to locate the family in 1870. I have found an entry in 1870 that could possibly be Henry in 15 Ward 47th District that seems to be a children's home.
I have also found a Violet Young  aged 8 and a Wilmina Young aged 6 and wondered if these were his sisters, but as yet I cannot find a birth record for either of them.

Henry married Hannah Greener(from Northumberland, England) in 1885 in Hammonton New Jersey and a daughter Hannah was born in 1887. A son Henry Joseph was born in 1890. By 1891 the family had moved back to England and they lived in Felling, Northumberland. I haven't been able to find them on any passenger lists.

Hoping someone can find some answers .

Family Search has the following:-

Henry J Young  born14 January 1861 Philadelphia PA

Parents Edwin Young and Sarah I Young
----------------
I've been trying to locate the family on the 1870 census but cannot find them. Just wondering if anyone else could locate them.

Thanks for the article. Pity it didn't give more details. I would presume I need to find the original certificate to see if it names parents.

Thanks for the info. I wonder if Sarah's middle initial I is "Irving".

Will see if I can find anything
