Not sure if this thread is still going but wanted to say that I am a direct ancestor of Philip Clear the Christian Soldier who is buried at Veryan Churchyard, he is my fourth great grandfather who served at the Battle of Waterloo in the 32nd Regiment of Foot.

This is the information that I have regarding Fanny Holdroff

She was born in January 1866 in Falmouth, Cornwall, to Sarah Ann Sedgmond, age 34, and Charles Edward Holdroff, age 27. 
Fanny Holdroff lived in Falmouth, Cornwall, in 1871.   
Her brother John Charles was born in 1871 in Falmouth, Cornwall, when Fanny was 5 years old.
Her father Charles Edward passed away on 25 April 1873 in Pernambuco, Brazil, at the age of 34.  Her brother John Charles died on 5 July 1874 in Falmouth, Cornwall, when Fanny was 8 years old. Fanny Holdroff lived in Falmouth, Cornwall, in 1881 and 1891.  In the 1901 census Fanny was a Domestic servant (cook) as an inmate at Dm of Hope Refuge, 31 Hampton St, Plymouth Cornwall.
Sarah Sedgmond remarried married Edward N Tong (hence where the Tongs came into it.)
Her mother Sarah Ann Sedgmond passed away on 10 August 1904 in St. Thomas, Devon, at the age of 72. Fanny Holdroff lived in Plymouth, Devon, in 1911. Marital Status: Single; Relation to Head: Inmate1911 • Plymouth, Devon, England. 
Her half-sister Annie died in December 1920 in Bodmin, Cornwall, when Fanny was 54 years old Annie Tong 1856–1920 Dec 1920 • Bodmin, Cornwall. Fanny Holdroff died in 1944 in Plymouth, Devon, when she was 78 years old 1944 • Plymouth, Devon. Burial 10 Aug 1944 • Kent, England On my tree I have a link to Charles Kemp but not much info at the moment.  My daughter and I have just sent off our DNA so we may get more info later.

I hope this helps so far, I have more info but didn't want to bombard you.  As I said I am new to the Roots chat but have been doing my tree for quite a while, if this is not the case I fully apologise but there are too many coincidences from what has been written.

Good evening

I am very very new to this and I was looking through messages with the name of Holdroff, I am a descendent of this family, I am from Falmouth in Cornwall and I have been reading through what you have written about a family member called Fanny.  Before I go any further with information which I believe may help I just want to make sure I am doing this right as I said I am very new.
