Northamptonshire Lookup Requests / Re: Owen Chester Holliday
« on: Friday 17 February 12 19:25 GMT (UK)  »
any thanks seahall for trying to find records.  I have actually got a copy of Owen Chester Holliday's birth certificate - which shows Mary as his mother, and as we know no father is named.  Haven't done any further research this week, but will try and find something to link Mary to John Sanders.

I did see this marriage, but no details of age and father's name were shown on the FMD site, and there was no record of the marriage at all on the Family Search site!  This certainly looks as if it could be the marriage I am looking for and I shall research further.  Many thanks.

Thank you for your messages.  It is Owen Chester Holliday's mother I am trying to trace.  She married shortly after his birth and I am trying to find out who she married.  She may then have emigrated to New Zealand - but I can't look further into this paet of her life without knowing her married surname.

I am still plugging away at the Holliday family tree!  I know Owen Chester Holliday was the son of Mary Holliday - born out of wedlock in 1855.  Someone has said that Mary subsequently remarried and could have emigrated to New Zealand.  I did think she was the Mary Saunders that emigrated in 1859 but having looked at the passenger list for that ship realise that it was nothing to do with my Mary.
Does anyone know who Mary Holliday married?  I seem to be drawing a blank with the marriages I have found and don't think any are the correct one.  Did they get married in Register Offices in those days?  Wonder if Mary was unable to marry in church because she had a child.
Any help would be appreciated.

did reply to your last message last Friday I think - but not sure if it got through to you!  If it didn't - thank you for all your help.

Could you let me know what site you found the 1861 Census for Elizabeth Holliday working as a servant in Priors Marston.  I have been on Genes Reunited, Find My Past and Ancestry and can't seem to locate it! I am a fairly newcomer to this "game" and would welcome any tips from more experienced people.

Thanks.

I shall be checking out the information about Elizabeth and Ellen Holliday.   From research so far, it seems that the females of this particular generation didn't live long lives.  The males did - one of the brother reaching the age of 86 yrs which I suppose was quite an age in those times. 
I normally go down to the library to do my research on their version of Ancestry, but at the moment I am iced in!

Once again, many thanks for help given.

Many thanks for the information.  It was very helpful and takes me a bit further forward.  I haven't been able to find Elizabeth at all in an 1861 Census.

Does anyone have any information about an Elizabeth Holliday, born 1833 in Culworth.  Her parents were John Holliday and Anne Clarke.  I know that in 1851 she was working as a servant on a farm in Culworth.  I can find nothing for her after that.  Looking for marriages or deaths?

Also, Ellen Holliday born 1837 in Culworth.  She was Elizabeth's sister, and another daughter of John Holliday and Anne Clarke.  In 1851 she is living at Eydon and working as a servant.  In 1861 I think she is living in Wappenham and working as a servant.  I think she married a William Lester in 1862 in Towcester and died in 1863 in Towcester at the age of 26? 

Any information would be much appreciated.
