I am trying to find anything on Sarah Holt bap 1828 North Ferriby Hull. She was the illegitimate daughter of Ruth Holt (1787) from Holme on Spalding Moor. Ruth had 5 other children:- John Holt 1817 William Holt 1819 Ann Holt 1825 Hannah Holt 1831 She later changed her name to Gray Jane Holt 1820 Ruth eventually married Robert Gray in 1837 in North Ferriby when she would be about 50 years old. I cannot find anything on Ann,Sarah or Hannah. I have looked for Sarah under Gray but found nothing. I would be grateful if anyone could look them up on any census. Regards Carole

Hi Pam This is fantastic information that you have found for me, thank you so much. I think the 1841 and 1851 is definitely my family, but I am not sure about the 1861, Ann would only have been 36 so it is a big age difference, and she was born North Ferriby. I have marriage record for a Sarah Holt taken from Yorkshire BMD and she married a William Wilcox in 1851, but I haven't seen the marriage cert to prove I have the right person. But this Sarah is the daughter of Swithin Holt and cousin to the illusive Sarah that I am looking for. The Death record for Ruth looks right. Does Ferriby come under Sculcoates? I am wondering if Sarah died in infancy but I haven't found any record as yet. Thanks once again for all the work you have done, it is very much appreciated Carole

Thanks for that Pam. I know Sculcoates is part of Hull, but I didn't know if it covered Ferriby as that is on the outskirts. I suppose it is worth looking in workhouse records for Sarah, but why would she be there when her mother and siblings were still alive? Did hospitals come under workhouse in those days - I'm a bit ignorant!!! I had a lady contact me on Genes Reunited, she has been looking for Sarah Holt for 20 years, but we came to the conclusion hers is a different Sarah. I hope I don't take that long! Regards Carole

Just looked on National Burial register for Sarah Holt NO Sarahs but list these anyway they may be of help later.

It looks as though I might have to send for some certs!
The John Holt from Holme on Spalding looks interesting, that's where the Holt family originated. I think he could be the grand daddy of them all! If it's the right one ,he married Elizabeth Garnet in 1769 - he's another one I have been having problems with. A John Holt married Elizabeth Danby in 1782 and I don't know if it is the same John married twice. I have been a few years trying to sort him out!
