for AEone
hello
i'm interested in the post about the marriage of william holyman to sarah  (greenaway) or (williams)
i have that william holyman and his wife sarah had a son named william holyman born 1795 dover.
could it be the son that married sarah williams in 1821 in walmer.
the children that you listed i have managed to find 3

Wilhelmina Elizabeth Holyman 1821 St. Mary, Dover, Kent, England
Georgiana Mary Granway Holyman 1825 Walmer, Kent, England please note (granway not greenway)
Mary Ann Hollyman 1827 Deal, Kent, England

I also understand that william died in 1827 and that sarah married again to john dolbey about 1830
they migrated to tasmania in 1836, I understand that they had 4 more children edward thomas 1831
alice elizabeth 1833, william henry 1835 and sarah jane 1838.

does this fit in with any of your findings, and do you have any further information about this.
thanks john

Hello John

Can confirm from Parish Records that William Holyman married married Sarah Williams at St Mary's church, Walmer on 27th Jun 1821. Both were listed as being of that Parish. Unusually, witnesses were not recorded.

Georginna (sic) Mary Gurney HOLYMAN was baptised 2/3/1825 to William & Sara at St Mary's, Walmer, he being a Schoolmaster.
Mary Ann HOLLYMAN was baptised 2/9/1827 to Wailliam & Sara at St Leonard's Church, Deal, Labourer of Beach Street.

Hope this is a help

Regards

 Thanks AJ.

 Firstly, Julia Margaret Marsh is the correct one, daughter of Henry Marsh and Mary Ann Woodruff. Ingram and Julia had a daughter also called Julia Margaret b 1852 d 1931 in Monmouth. The name Julia was passed onto my Granny, I'm Margaret.

 You've now got me thinking about Mary Selth Norris, her mother was Mary Selth. There was a family of that name in Deal. Henry Marsh's sister Mary Ann married Christopher Thomas Selth b 1813 in Deal. In fact Ingram and Julia's youngest daughter was Mary Ann Selth Finnis.

 I have the Finnis baptisms but also have Sarah Finnis b 1835 Deal died 1863 Deal but with no baptism. I've wondered if she was the
 daughter of Mildred Barber Finnis born before her marriage to Henry Pearson in 1833. I have Sarah Mercy Mildred Finnis baptised
 7th January 1835 Canterbury. The name Mercy comes from Mercy Belsey who married John Finnis in 1785 Deal. All John Finnis'
 took Belsey as their second name.

 Just recently have been finding marriages within different lines, not cousins but a bit more complicated.

I have a mystery lady, Lila Margaret Webb or Lila Margaret Finnis. She was possibly known as well as Margaret Lila.

She was likely to have been the daughter of Mary Ann Selth Finnis b 1871 in Sandwich who married William James Webb in 1901 Lewisham RD.

Lila M Finnis married William Stafford Dalgety Q4 1928 Paddington RD ref 1a 192. A Lila Margaret Dalgety died 1979 Richmond upon Thames. Death index showed dob as 24th March 1905. Also recorded as Margaret Lila.

I have searched birth indexes, using Lilian instead of Lila but have not found anything, mainly concentrating on London area.

Question is why did she use Finnis surname on her marriage record?

I'm sure that I am searching for the correct person because her name came up in a letter concerning the Finnis family.

Any ideas?!

1901 census
RG13/557 folio 50 page 27
19 North Terrace, Fairlawn Park, Lewisham
William J WEBB head married age 27 Groom born Kilburn
Mary  WEBB wife married age 25 Cook born Sandwich
Albert E W FINNIS son age 4mth born Lee

[bearkat]

So it looks like Albert was illegitimate.  I wonder if the middle name W stands for WEBB 

But Lila/Margaret was born after the couple married so should have been a WEBB.
