Is there some kind person who will check the details of the household for this person in 1911, please.

HOLLING FLORENCE EMILY F 1885 26 Chepstow Monmouthshire. It actually should be Hollins.

Much appreciated in advance,
Ozi

Sorry for the delay in answering, Maureen. I have to surface occasionally for domestic chit-chat.

Thanks so much for those. I can't find a death for Albert either, so I wonder if he migrated?

Are those his Service Pension records on Ancestry? (lists father as John Hollins Wye Stores).
If so,I think it says he would have been in India in 1911.

(I always have trouble reading those things).

It looks like their last residence was India.

Hello Ozibird,
I've just read these postings about my grandparents Albert and Agnes Hollins. If I'd seen them earlier I could have saved you a lot of trouble. Are you related to the family? What is your interest in them?
Best wishes,
Brian.
