Baptism look up in Witney please
« on: Wednesday 27 July 11 23:48 BST (UK) »
Evening
Could anyone help me by looking up two baptisms in Witney?

Alice Maud Mary Holloway born 1864 (possible Q2 1864 Witney 3a 627)
and Anne Silman (possibly Q2 1878 Witney 3a 741)

I'm trying to discover if they have the same mother - namely Charlotte Silman (or Sylman)

Any help appreciated - thank you

Sarah

Hi looking at the 1881 I can see why you have this query, this may help as far as Alice Maude:-

Baptism Alice Maude Mary Holloway 4th July 1864 Minster Lovell, Oxford Mother Charlotte Holloway.

I can also see that on the 1871 Alice is a Sylman with Richard and Charlotte Census Ref RG10/1454/12A/20

There is a marriage Richard SILLMAN in Sept 1870 Witney 3a 981 with 3 men and only 2 women showing, possibly Charlotte is the missing lady?

Thank you for Alice's baptism

And thank you for the marriage info
I revisited the marriage I found on Ancestry for Charlotte Ferriman Holloway in Sept Witney 1870 3a 984 which has two women and and only 1 man. I looked up the Richard Sillman you mention only to see they have  a transcription error  -the typeface is feint  - it should read 984 not 981 - so that ties in nicely THANK YOU

So Alice is born to Charlotte Holloway who then marries Richard Sylman. In 1881 Alice is shown as Sylman and living with Richard and Charlotte

In 1891 Alice is back to being Holloway living with Uncle Joseph Holloway and Anne Silman is in the house as a boarder aged 3 (Minster Lovell)

In 1901 Alice is married to Frederick James Marlow (living in Hammersmith) and Anne Silman 13 is shown as sister-in-law to head

So Anne is related somehow...
BUT
I have a Richard Silman death Q3 1874 Witney aged 53 3a 408
if this is right he isn't her father
but Charlotte Silman death Q2 1879 Witney aged 38 3a 487 so she could still be the mother

any ideas where I should look next to find out who Anne is? I hoped the baptism would help

Hi Sarah, unless somone can locate a baptism for Anne, then the only real course of action is to purchase her birth cert isn't it?
At least it would finally put your mind to rest!
