Hi William

I have sent you a PM

Kind regards Costa

William as this post was 2011 you can send a message to Costa by clicking on her name you will open a message box if she is still a member see will get your message hope that helps

Hello Costa, We are researching the same family, Beatrice Hollins was my Grandmother who died 3rd January 1966. Throughout her life she used Florence as her first name , my mother who is still alive at 87 remembers her grandmother whose complexion she described as dark. We are probably researching the same family, if the administrators were to allow contact with each other then we would possibly have information that would be useful to each other.
Regards Bill

Hi Chrissiex,

I will order that marriage cert aswell.

Thanks again Costa :-)

btw I think this is the more likely possible marriage for the couple in 1878 ( since wife Sarah Ann was born c1858 )

Hi Chrissiex

The family that alviegal posted with Hannah as edwins wife and Hannah was born in India and she was a Bristish subject this was the family I am looking for.
I will order a birth certificate for Beatrice Hollins and see what her maiden name was then come back with more information as it is like a needle in a haysack at the moment.

Thank you everyone for your input tonight and I will come back to this thread when I have more details

Kind regards Costa

I think the family Jan posted is almost certainly them and Edwin/Edward very probably did not marry Hannah ...

why do you think the Edward Hollins birth I posted is not this Edward ? I did not see -any- Edwin Hollins births 1855-1860 except one in Chorlton

why not just tell us what the connection you are trying to establish is ?

to -whom- are you trying to connect this Edwin Hollins ?

blind searching like this isn't really productive for anyone !


this would be the one whose birth I posted, in 1871

Name: Edward Hollins
Age: 14
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1857
Relation: Son
Father's Name: Richard Hollins
Mother's Name: Harriet Hollins
Gender: Male
Where born: Birmingham, Warwickshire, England

Civil parish: Birmingham

Richard Hollins 40
Harriet Hollins 38
William Hollins 21
Mary A Hollins 16
Edward Hollins 14
Richard Hollins 11
Thomas Hollins 6
Harriet Hollins 4
Alfred Hollins 2


it would be a mistake to place too much weight on the Edwin / Edward difference !

my grandfather lived his life as Edward and discovered when he retired that his name was Edmund

Hi Chrissiex.

Sorry I pressed submit before I had finished I have not found them on the 1881 or 1871 census as yet.

Kind regards Costa

Hi Chrissiex,

I think it is the Hollins side of my family yes I have looked at births for Edwin Hollins but there is alot of them so too many to go on also Hannah's second marriage to george baker I also have Baker's in my tree it was just that I was told awhile ago that one family member had married a lady from India and when I found this that is why I have been looking into it.
I think I will go for the child's birth cert and see Hannah's maiden name.

Kind regards costa

Hi Jansmith

Edwin Hollins married a Hannah a their daughter was named Sarah Ann so not sure if that is the correct one

Thanks for your input much appreciated I have been looking for weeks now and can not find a marriage.

Kind regards Costa

what connection are you thinking with your own family ?

if it is through Edwin is it not a good idea to identify him definitely with his birth family ?

you have a 'c' birth date for him, have you searched for his birth at freebmd ?

Edwin and Edward and also Edmond/Edmund were often treated as interchangeable and people with one name could be found as another in censuses

in fact

Births Dec 1856
Hollins Edward Birmingham 6d 129

seems to be him

have you found him in the 1861 or 1871 census ?

if this would not help with answering your question there is no point in one of us doing those searches and posting the information here but since we don't really know what the question is ... :-)

Hi Patchem

I have been trying to find out if there is any link between my family and these before I order cert's.

Thank you I will if I can not find anymore info on them

Costa

Her maiden name should be on the children's birth certificates...............

?
Births Dec 1894
Hollins Beatrice Birmingham 6d 119

Hi All,

This is a big ask but I will try and make it not too long winded. I am trying to find a link between this family and mine.

I have found Edwin Hollins born c1853 Birmingham with his wife Hannah nee ?? born East India living with children all born,birmingham

sarah A c1878 Elizabeth c1880 Ada c1882 Edward c1889 Ellen c1890 Beatricec1895,

The probelm is I have found them in the 1891 census living in Birmingham but have been unable to find a marriage for them or them in 1881 and

In 1901 it looks like Hannah remarried to George T Baker in 1898 as I have found them living in Birmingham.

Her first husband Edwins occupation was a labourer and her second husband was a coal wharf labourer any one got ideas how to find Hannah's first marriage so can get her maiden name and parents and also Edwin's parents I have been trying for weeks now and can not get anywhere.

Any advice and help much appreciated.
Kind regards costa
