We have had a query on BCC...

Hi I have been researching my husband's grandparents, George Holloway (b 1854 Halesowen) and Mary Holloway n Charles (b 1852 Brierley Hill). I notice you have a George Holloway, but your George is unrelated to our George. However, I also notice that there is a tentative note that your George might have married a Mary Charles. As far as we are aware, the Mary Charles you mention is OUR relative, who died in Pontnewydd, Monmouthshire, on 8 March 1935 (our George died just a couple of months later, on 6 May 1935)

George Hollway

Mary Charles

When we have chance can we see if this is correct?

George is on 1881 census

Thank you for looking RF. I have not had time to check! Moving house all day!
I will alter BCC and take off the notes.

I reckon Mercy is the daughter of Joseph (jnr) hence the following....

Can't find anything else, can you Jo?

I can't see anymore?

James was born out of wedlock, possible GRO
HOLLOWAY, JAMES GEORGE -
GRO Reference: 1891 S Quarter in STOURBRIDGE Volume 06C Page 150

I think it may be an error on 1901 census that he is W? Error on surname 1911.
