HOLLIS Rotherhithe pre 1900
« on: Friday 17 June 05 02:46 BST (UK) »
My Hollis family were clerks at the rice mills on the Rotherhithe docks.  They can be traced in this area back to George Hollis married at St John Horsleydown in 1828.     :)

Was there an Ada Hollis in your family around 1890?

The reason I ask is that my great aunt, Ada Longmuir's middle name was Hollis- a tad unusual! I have found some of her siblings unusual middle names were taken from the surnames of people marrying family members, and possibly even Godparents so I was looking for a connection.
The Longmuir family moved to Walworth from Newcastle in 1891. James, the head of the family ,was a Compositor.
Let me know if you find a connection, PLEASE!

Sure will.  My Hollises seem to have been in/around Bermondsey and Rotherhithe back to 1800 - as far as I have got! Will keep an eye out for a Longmuir connection!  Happy hunting...
