I would put my money on the Wife being Sarah Willetts NL........

think it might be Willetts

church is good and this

Births Mar 1920 Holloway Dorothy B Willetts Stourbridge 6c 23

the name Dorothy is in that list above

but I need to be sure
any ideas

I have a John Holloway in my tree born Hasbury 1854. Could be husband of Sarah?

No it's not him, I have him in Hasbury in 1881!

Think we need the 1911 Census to be sure, then we can work backwards...........

I cant believe this...

1846
PALMER Caroline HOLLOWAY John Dudley, St Edmund Dudley Register Office 201/001/74

now on that 1901 the mother is Palmer

and here is a marriage that fits
but

Caroline!!

I agree so here we go...

19 11 Census ........Mount St Hasbury Halesowen Worcs

HOLLOWAY, WILLIAM HEAD MARRIED 6 M 31 ELECTRIC WELDER WORS HALESOWEN
HOLLOWAY, SARAH ANN WIFE MARRIED F 29 WORS HALESOWEN
HOLLOWAY, LILILAN FLORENCE MAY DAUGHTER F 2 WORS HALESOWEN
HOLLOWAY, JOHN CHARLES SON M 1 WORS HALESOWEN

so it is the Willetts

Ellen nee Parsons 43
Harry 22
Sarah Ann 19
Maud 17
