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.
