Hi just wondering if anybody could help me find any information on my great great grandparents I'm researching my family tree and have come to a dead end now iv come to the forth generation the only info I have got are there children's names my great nan is Matilda Holloway née West and I wish to find out about her mother and father and my great grandad is Joseph George Holloway and I would also like to find out about his mother and father or indeed any other siblings any help is greatly appreciated

To save a bit of time, could you give years and area please?

Hi amanda,

It might help if you were to give some dates and places and tell us as much as you know so we are then not looking for information you already have.

Having said that, this is the only Matilda West/Holloway marriage that comes up - is this the correct family?

That's brilliant thank you so much the other names ie Henry/kate/Caroline are they other siblings

Joseph George's birth - mother's maiden name is blank, so indicative of her surname being the same. The December birth registration means Joseph could have been born anytime from mid August onwards as 6 weeks was allowed before a birth had to be registered.

Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
HOLLOWAY, JOSEPH GEORGE - Order
GRO Reference: 1901 D Quarter in BIRMINGHAM Volume 06D Page 178

Not other siblings - Kate Holloway will be Catherine and Joseph the man she married the other 2 names will be another marriage. It's just the way the records were written up.

Siblings of Joseph George show on the 1911 census. He is the Joseph showing as born 1901 and now having taken the Spittle surname. However when he married he would have married in the name he was registered with at birth.

Wow that's amazing in five minutes you have found more information than I have all day all my information ? have viewed on other people's trees but nobody seams to have gone any further than Matilda and Joseph do you know how I would find Matildas mothers name

Using this free site
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp

you can check the other children named on the 1911 census and see that they are Spittles with mmn Holloway. You can also use that site up to 1915 for further children

-----------------
These are the only ones that come up post 1911. Odd as I can't see another Spittle/Holloway marriage. First thought is they might be twins bit you would expect the Page No. to be the same or at least only 1 different (or so I thought)

This record shows Joseph George and Matilda on the 1939 Register. It was compiled to be a basis for National ID in WW2 and later became the basis for the National Health Service. It doesn't show Service Personnel or anyone born after 1915 unless it's known they have died. It was updated to around 1991.

It looks as though there are possibly 8 "closed" records in the same household so they had lots of children probably

EDIT - Matilda is also shown with the name Phillips suggesting she remarried

I will be sure to check it out thank you so much

Haha when I have searched other families it appears all the Holloways had many children there a busy bunch :-D

This free to use site will give you Joseph G and Matilda's children's names - I won't put them up at present as they may still be living.
