If the 1913 death is that of your James, the informant must have been someone who didn't know exactly when he was born.

Apart from that, it seems like a good possibility, especially as we can't find him in 1921, and the man who died in 1913 was buried in North Wheatley.

Thanks for your help

The 1891 and 1901 posted on here are mine thanks.
The 1839 is not mine then as his name was not James Joseph.

That 1911 could be mine.
The Albert Hollingsworth on there is not related to my James. So not sure this is my family. I will have to do a bit more research

Thanks for your help

He was born 1884 In Scotten/Scotter Lincolnshire
His Parents were James Hollingsworth and Mary Jane Borley.

I Have him on the 1891 with his parents in Gainsborough

1901 He s working in North Wheatley Nottinghamshire, I couldn't read what he did.
1911 ?
1921?
1939 This is possibly him. They have his birth as 31 April 1884, Married and an unemployed Driver. No one else is living with him.


If you could possibly find him on the 1911 or 1921 (if its FREE) census it would be a great help. A marriage would be really useful.

Thanks a lot

Jane

P.S I have just found a possible death for him in April 1913 in North Wheatley aged 31. If this is him then the 1939 is wrong.
