Holloway in Emsworth, parish of Warblington

[Jazzz]

I'm trying to find birth/baptism details for Charles Holloway born in Emsworth in the parish of Warblington in 1809. I have found the family of Gawen Holloway (born 1780), his wife nee Martha Ann Midlane (married 18th Sept 1802), and their son also Gawen Holloway born in 1806. Martha died on 30th May 1809, I suspect in childbirth. I believe that this is the family of Charles Holloway, but as yet can find no proof. It's also possible that they were a family of Baptists, so the baptisms may be in non-conformist records. There is also the family of Joseph Holloway Jr (born Emsworth 1782) married to Sarah Walker. I believe Joseph is Gawen's brother, and could also be a candidate for Charles' father, although my money is on Gawen. As Joseph is officially shown as Joseph Holloway Junior on his marriage entry, I've assumed that Gawen and Joseph's father was also Joseph. Any help would be appreciated, especially with Baptists' records, as the family appears to have been Baptists for several generations.

Hi Jazzz, welcome to RootsChat.

Gawen's parents were John & Mary Holloway and his baptism appears in the Warblington register on 27 Jan 1780.

A Joseph Holloway was baptised in Warblington to Joseph and Ann on 28 March 1781. 

No luck with Charles in the CofE records. 

From what I can glean from the Hampshire Record Office catalogue, Joseph was a merchant, while John was a mariner.  It's possible that the link is one generation further back.  There are a number of wills held by TNA (and downloadable from there for a fee) for a number of Joseph Holloways all from Warblington or Emsworth around the late 18th - early 19th centuries.  Have you looked at those at all to see if there are any clues - perhaps one of them names Gawen or Charles and gives a relationship.

You could try using this site - but you need to buy some credits to see the records:

There is a baptism of a Charles Holloway recorded in Hampshire in 1804, but cross-checking with the free index on FamilySearch this appears to be for a child born in Romsey

 I have records of some 400 Holloway originating in Emsworth from 1650. I have details on Gawen. Looking for pre 1650 Holloways in area

I have had a breakthrough in my researches, having discovered Charles's grave in a cemetery in Oxford, along with his son & grandson. I have also uncovered a 3rd marriage, and through the certificate, finally uncovered the identity of his parents. This led me back through the family of Holloways in Warblington, until I have also got as far back as a John Holloway, my 8th great-grandfather, born in 1650. This may be as far back as I can go, but I've uncovered a sizeable family tree in Emsworth, as well as a couple of wills

My memory is failing. Have I replied before? If not come back, my Hollloway tree has about 450 family members from about 1600 including my great grandfather the rev Charles who had no connection with the city of Oxford and certainly was not buried there. You are welcome to contact me if necessary.
Don't expect a rapid reply as I am coming up to 92.
