WELLS and HOLLOWAY families of Westminster
« on: Saturday 17 December 11 07:14 GMT (UK) »
My grandmother's brother, John WELLS (Private, AIF) married Doris Maud HOLLOWAY at St Georges Hanover Square in 1917. John was killed at Ypres later that year, without seeing his son John L WELLS, b. late 1917.

While John L WELLS is quite likely dead by now, I believe he had a daughter Barbara who married a BROOKS or BROOKES, and lived in Rampayne St Westminster.

I would love to make contact with descendants of John and Doris. A photo of them at, or shortly after, their wedding is attached.

I have traced Doris and her HOLLOWAYs via the censuses, and I believe she was descended as follows:

Doris Maud HOLLOWAY - b. c1893 in Newman St, Westminster.

Parents - Walter Russell HOLLOWAY (b. c1871 St Martin in the Fields) and Mary Elizabeth.

Grandparents - George Frederick HOLLOWAY (b. c1839 St Martin in the Fields) and Angelina NICHOLS.

Great-grandparents - George HOLLOWAY (b. c1800) and Elizabeth.

If anyone is connected to either of these families, I'd love to hear from you.
