West Midlands Marriage indexes for the years: 1900 Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference GREAVES George HOLLOWAY Mary J Cradley Heath, Holy Trinity Sandwell Register Office 19/3/181...lookup posted

I think George might be this one on BCC..
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =399418036

Now I have no idea where I got this marriage info. from( someone else on Ancestry?..can't remember! :roll: ) but I have ...

George GREAVES (22) bachelor..pipe fitter..resident Wrights Lane..father David GREAVES..gardener..bride Mary Jane HOLLOWAY(21) spinster..beauty bank..father James HOLLOWAY..labourer..wit. Ernest HOLLOWAY & Abigail HACKETT

sort of makes sense ... but father David is a gardener? ... one on BCC is a nailmaker.

I have posted the marriage for lookup for now, as it should probably be checked, I think :roll:

Do you think the Holloways tie in to BCC too?

I'm sure I have the right family so will start adding to BCC.
There are lots of Holloways too, which will take me some time to sort through .... haven't been able to tie them into BCC yet.

This post is OK to archive for now... I may open up a new one for the Hollaways

Thankyou
