Hi
I’ve got a solid brick wall and wondered if anyone can help me?
I want to confirm the parents for James Holton below.
There are strong records for a James b 1801 at the Lying in Hospital, Endell Street, London to a Thomas and Ann, however I have all these records and father was a coachman/gentlemans servant and my chap was just a salesman/oilman/potato dealer. Besides, in the Lying in hospital records there is a James that married a Kitty that have their son there and he is a gentleman’s servant so I think more likely this James is the son of the Tomas and my James is not related.
James Holton b 1801 or 1802 - censuses for 1851,1861 and 1871 say b Middlesex, London
Married Emma Neeves (b Cambridge) at St. Giles in the Fields, Middlesex in 1827
Children with baptised locations:
1829 Emma Mary Louise – Old Church St. Pancras
1831 James - Bryanston Square St Mary (died same year)
1832 James Joseph – Old Church St Pancras
1835 Frances Rebecca – Islington
1837 Mary Jane – St. George the Martyr, Southwark
1839 Sarah – Christchurch, Southwark, Surrey
1843 Thomas William, St. George the Martyr, Southwark
So – who could be my James’ parents?
Any help or information would be so gratefully received.
Thanks
Val
