Alright, I can't seem to edit my previous post, but I did end up on the 1841 census and I can't find anything really. All I can find is her baptism.

This is basically everything that you can find on the other threads. I’m sorry if this is a little jumbled in advanced some of the dates are really confusing me.

George and Rachel had four children: Martha, Ann, Solomon, and William. All four children worked in a workhouse in the 1851 census. The Workhouse does not have records from that period as a heads up.
Martha baptized 5 November 1837 in Hooton Pagnell
Ann born in 1847 location unknown and was buried on 19 of July 1851
William baptized 13 September 1844 in Howden
Solomon was born 5 November 1845 in Howden
 
Rachel herself was baptized on the 21 of October 1814.

Rachel married George on the 25 of November 1843 at Howden (Martha an illegitimate child?). Both were living in Howden and Rachel was a spinster. Her parents are William and Mary Holmes, whose records I cannot find as well. George was a widower although I do not know who his first wife might be. They are of full age, he is a laborer, and so is the father in law. George Holmes and Rachel Holmes's marriage - by banns, witnesses Susan? Wilkinson and Thomas Bradley. Both signed.

Rachel did remarry on 9 of September 1849 to Mark Nutbrown and she died the 16 of July 1850 at 36 giving birth. Solomon’s birth record confirms that his mother’s maiden name is also Holmes.
The parish register is pretty indistinct in the late 1840s. On 30 July 1848 a George Holmes (not sure if it’s mine although it is very likely) died at the age of 33 and buried in Howden.

Holm-on-Spalding-Moore did show up in the thread but I’m not sure if that means anything. I can’t make out what it says but on the baptisms there is a column next to quality, trade, or profession and those places are hard to read as well.

Solomon in short married at St. Stephen in Sneiton in Nottinghamshire the 15 of July 1866. I have copies of the naturalization record when he came to America and a copy of his death records if you need that as well. He married an Elizabeth Clayton of Nottinghamshire (Nottingham) and they have five children: Ada, Clara, William, George, John. George never married, Ada and Clara have since moved to Seattle and I have yet to research them to anyone living, and John is my great great grandfather.


I have also not been able to look at the 1841 census yet.

This is your previous post, for reference:

As you have got back to Rachel and George, and presumably have them in censuses after their marriage, then you know a lot about them that is not on this post.

When you say that they seem to have moved around - when and where - their birthplaces and ages will be on the censuses, you use parish records, you match up information that you have with new information that you find.

Is your query just a general one, or somehow specific for Rachel and George?

If you are having problems finding people on family search, you may need to consider taking out a subscription to a paying site.

Either with or without them. More of a general one I suppose because I'm having the same problem on my German heritage as well. I use ancestry and the most luck I have had has been on family search.

I know he was born in 1815 but I have no way of knowing if he was born there or moved to the area and with so many listed, it's kind of hard to narrow down. The marriage record didnt really help much.

So I finally got my birth record in the mail and I'm looking for a marriage record for a George Holmes and Rachel Holmes in 1843. It's not on FreeReg but it is on FreeBMD.

Then any census on either of the two (I'm not picky) before 1843 in Howden. His occupation was labourer if that helps. On familysearch her mother would be named Mary too.

I'm trying to figure out if they came to Howden to get married or not. If they lived in the area before, etc. Thank you in advance!
