Many thanks for taking the trouble to compile and post all that information for me!

Funnily enough I had just been looking at the 1911 Census to flesh out the family a bit – having had my curiosity raised when I wanted to know what had happened to Cornelius.

It was odd her children had the surname Holland and yet Cornelius's birth was registered as McGee and he was baptised as such, but I guess they were just one of the many couples living a man and wife and varying the names that appeared in documents. As you point out, they married much later.

Thanks again.

Great that everyone could add to your request for newspaper cuttings.
All adds to the family stories.

Yes, cuttings can be such a great help.

I've been considering whether to subscribe to Ancestry's newspaper archive, or to the British Newspaper Archive. I'm leaning towards the latter, just because it covers an important local newspaper that appears not to be on Ancestry's list.

Many thanks again.
