Title: Hollyhurst Cottages, Hollyhurst Road near Marbury.
Post by: atlantikman on Thursday 25 January 18 13:46 GMT (UK)
Hello,

I am trying to find the above address on the 1939 Register, but though it comes up with something, I think it's another Hollyhurst...  In fact I cannot find anything on this Hollyhurst Road.  I've also looked on the 1911/1901 Census with no joy.   These houses are located near to the Combermere Memorial/Monument.

Thanks in advance.
Paul.

Have you tried looking under Hollyhurst Road, Whitchurch, Shropshire. What are the names of the people you are looking for?

Hi Ellenmai,

On the 1939 Register there is no Hollyhurst Road listed; I found a Hollyhurst with two homes there, but that is very close to Whitchurch, which is the wrong one.

I don't have any names at these addresses -- I'm trying to make a file of previous occupants at one one these cottages, for a friend, but I'm stuck at the first hurdle!

Paul.

Try Holly House, Hollyhurst Road, Wrockwardine Wood, Oakengates, Shropshire is that the one you are looking for?

No, Wrockwardine Wood is near Telford.  The Hollyhurst I'm trying to locate is near Marbury, much further north.  Comber Mere lake is close by, as is the village of Marbury a few miles away.  I can see the houses on the 1939-61 OS map that FindMyPast have attached to each entry.

I have managed to locate on the 1911 Census, Holly Hurst, Marbury with Quorsley, Whitchurch, which gives three homes and three farms.

I have found Hollyhurst Road and Lanes Marbury on several Census but the enumerator hasn't listed the names of the cottages sadly, apart from 1 Pooles Cottages. The only other thing I can suggest is if you go to the Cheshire Archive and see if they have any information. They will also do a search for a fee if you can't get there. Good Luck.
