So, that now discounts William Henry Holyome from 1881.

Leaving William Robert Holyome 07/06/1889 who has the correct parentage but seems to have lied about his age and middle name on his wedding certificate to Lily Mary Walters.

William and Lily had 4 children (according to my relatives), Ivy, William, Albert and Elizabeth...... would any of their marriage certificates reference their fathers name?? It could clarify if he continued to use Henry as his middle name or referred back to his real name of Robert.

Thanks

magnificent Flick.... thank you so much.

This is the one born in 1881................couldn't have fathered Ivy

Birth Date: abt 1881
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1917

So you can rule out this famliy

William H Holyome 10
Arthur G Holyome 6

For William and his widowed mother Joyce (who died 14/7/1917) Administration was granted to Arthur G Holyome.
William's address was the same as his mother's

You refer to the 'certs'...but I don't think you have actually got them.

He could have given his father's second name as his own in error.............nervousness, perhaps?

As advised above......Iv'ys birth cert is a necessity, if you wish to trace the line accurately. Or her marriage cert, to establish who she said her father was..................

I'm not able to say whether the info I found relates to one person, or two. I just find the info and post it for your evaluation, as does anyone else on here

Good luck with your quest

Flick

So on the births information you have William H Holyome born in Bethnal Green (mothers maiden name as Walter) So that would indicate his name was William Henry Holyome..... which is the name his father was using when he married Lily Walter (according to the certificate).
The birth information of the William who married Lily shows his name would have been William Robert Holyome (matched to birth and death records for the period)
So, why would he use the name Henry on his marriage certificate and then name his son with the same name.... if he was actually William Robert? Any idea's?
Can we be sure they are the same person.... all the certs seem to tie up but it doesnt make sense.

You'd be well advised to invest in Ivy's birth cert

Happy New Year


Val

Not sure why he used Henry as a second name on his wedding day..................especially as he actually signed the register

All

This is going extremely well, thank you all for your assistance so far.
I fear I must break off for today to go and spend the New Year with friends.
Will pick up any further information tomorrow.

Many thanks again

Happy New Year to you all.

Gavin

TIP:

Don't rely on what 'contacts' tell you - they may not have been very thorough in their research

Only trust what you can verify.......................

That's due to the transcription.........you must always allow for errors, and problems with reading indistinct handwriting.

Don't expect everything to be exact..........or you'll get very frustrated

This death matches the baptism

He may have added years when he married, to avoid appearing younger than his bride

1911 census states he was born in Bethnal Green

Gavin

I have edited the 1911 post

Val

Val, reference your last post... is the name correct? It states Holyme.... not Holyome.

Gavin

I have looked at the original image of the marriage record on Ancestry

and all the information matches the 1911 census

Thomas's occupation is a "Car Man" the same on both image's and so is William's occupation " Polisher" it's just his age that's different by a few years

val

William's father Thomas was a carman, William Henry was a polisher. Address for bride and groom given as 12 Chapman Rd.

Have pmed the marriage image to Gavin

EDIT: was still typing when Flick posted the same info first!

On the marriage register, William's father Thomas is a Carman

William and Lily both give their address as 12 Chapman Road

Val's 1911 post would seem to be the correct family
