Title: 1871 lookup Worcs or Stafford
Post by: fi on Monday 20 December 04 13:43 GMT (UK)
ok, I'm still trying to find Thomas Hollies age about 12, born abt.1859/60 with Father, James Hollies and sister Ellen. He was born Gorsty Hill, which could be Halesowen, Worcs but I think it's close to Rowley Regis area Stafford..........I could be wrong,
Thanks guys...........Fi

hi I had a look but could find nothing to fit the info you gave. the closest I came was this

Henry Hollies  Head 41 Carpenter b. Hummington
Ellen Hollies  Wife 39  b. Halesowen
Ann S   "        Dau 11  b.          "
Thomas H      Son   9  b.          "
Ellen    "         Dau  7  b.          "
Amy     "         Dau  3  b.          "
George  "       Son  2  b.           "

Living Hagley rd, Halesowen, worcestershire

I found other Thomas's but none with father James. Have you any more details on the family it might help to make the right match?

All the best Anjo

hello....I thought at first he was Thomas H Hollies, but after getting the marriage cert it said his father was James, a Fruiterer (?) He is a mystery.........I know his sister, Ellen Tilley from Halesowen is on his death cert and that's all.  He was a plumber/engine fitter/fitter on the various docs and census info.

Thanks for your time....I actually think I've hit a dead end  :(
