Re: Desperately need to help a friend

Hi dorothy
My name is Kendra I am from Staffordshire. I have a friend Christine who is desperately trying to sort out the jigsaw of her real father Anthony HollyHead. His name and that he was from staffordshire and died three years ago is all the information she has.
If you could help her trace her family tree, this will at least help fill part of the void she has! :( :'(
If you can help it will do more good than you could possibly know.
Kind regards
kendra

Hi Kendra

I searched from 1995 to Dec 2002 (latest online) and there were NO deaths anywhere England/Wales for Anthony Hollyhead. I also tried Tony. Could he have gone to Scotland or elsewhere?

There is an Anthony James Holly Sept 2002 Lichfield

There is someone with an Anthony George Holyhead born 1947 in Darlaston which is Staffordshire in their family tree on GennesReunited.  Could this be the same person? It was added by someone called Tracey.

Ah - never thought of that spelling Kieran. I'll have another look.

The net seems to be grinding to a halt. I shall look tomorrow.

Hi Kendra

My hollyhead contact didn't have anything on Anthony, sorry.

As to the spelling of Hollyhead, i have come across many variants Holyhead/Hollyhead/Hollihead/Holehead and that is just a start.

Any idea when in the 40's he was born i have a few spare units for the 1837 site and i could try to find his birth if we can narrow it down a bit

Best wishes
