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 ?

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
