charles george Holloway
Birth 1844 in Taunton, Somerset, England

marrige cert says George Charles Holloway is a widowor
but i dont have a date of birth or place of birth for him so hopeing 1841 census can help me

thank you shelly xxx

1841 does not record birthplaces...........and ages of over'-5's were rounded down to nearest 5

But you must know that..............

His father's details should be on the marriage cert........and his age!

WHERE did they marry?

And how old was Elizabeth?

George Charles Holloway marred in 1838 Reading, Berkshire

reggie elizabeth was 20 and spincer on marrige cert
georgeis a widower

EDIT father is james holloway and elizabeth / no father

Yes, you said he was a widower.

He still had to give his AGE...............

marrige cert say full age so i was hopeing 1841 census would of had his age

George was NOT born in Berkshire, and was anything from 30 to 34 years of age.

You haven't said whether he named his father.

There is nothing to support the suggestion that the couple on the censuses produced a child in Somerset.

Do you have the right people?

GlitterBaby
very much could be elizabeth
but are there any children with her

Reggie im hopeing i have the right people

im just looking at all the info trying to work out what fits and will go from there

However...............the child to whom you refer is with his (probable) mother and siblings in 1851.............(as per Glitter Baby's find)
