A 92 years old lady from America wrote letter to Bugle looking for help in tracing her fathers brothers and sisters.
Father was Richard Ernest Holloway born 11/8/1877 in Brierley Hill to James and Phoebe Marie Attwood Holloway
She notes 1901 Census 152 Dudley Street Brierley Hill Kingswinford Stourbridge Worcs.
Phoebe Holloway Head (m) 35
James Walter Holloway son 20 Blacksmiths Striker
Phoebe Ann Holloway dau 18
Joseph Holloway son 17
Richard Holloway son 14 ( father)
William Holloway son 11
Beatrice Holloway 5 <br>
Wilfred Holloway son 4
Mary Holloway dau 5weeks
She notes father James not there so probably dead
Her father Richard Holloway probably married an Emily Slater in 1913 and in May 1915 came to USA under name Joseph Marwood Westwood ?
I have possibly found James Holloway in 1911 :-
1911 Census 23 Williams Street Brierley Hill Kingswinford Stourbridge Worcs.
James Holloway Head (m) Blacksmith born England
Married 36 Years , 10 children, 9 living
Wilfred Holloway son 15 Grocers Errand Boy
David Holloway son 12 Scholar
Minnie Holloway dau 10 Scholar
Gurtey Holloway dau 7
William Plant Head (m) 32 Excavator born England Staffs.
Febery Plant dau 31 (m) House Duties
Doley Plant 1
Note a William Plant married Phoebe Holloway in 1907 St. Michael Brierley Hill
1881 Census 11 Bent Street Kingswinford Stourbridge Worcs.
James Hallaway Head 24 Blacksmith
Phobe M. Hallaway 22 <br>
James W. Holloway son 6mths.
1891 Census 152 Dudley Street Brierley Hill Kingswinford Stourbridge Worcs.
James Holloway Head 35 Blacksmith
Phoebe Holloway wife 31
James Holloway son 11 Scholar
Phoebe A. Holloway dau 10 Scholar
Joseph Holloway son 5 Scholar
Richard Holloway son 4 <br>
William Holloway son 6mths.
Phoebe M. Attwood married James Holloway in 1879 St. Pauls Blackheath
Some question arise a) Where is Richard in 1911
b) where is James Holloway born 1857 in 1901
c) Where is Phoebe in 1911
d) Why change of name to emigrate
e) what happened to all the children
