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

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

Do you think the Holloways tie in to BCC too?

Looks like the same family to me Expat.

Annie

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
