My grandfather David had older sisters called Betty (elizabeth?) and Hilary for sure
Kathleen is a familiar name too


Edna is a familiar name as well so marriage between her and a carroll possibly a good one!

Thanks!

Thank you so much for this - I'll go and dig deeper - with names like stephens and Johns and a surname of carroll, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack!

Thanks for all your help and pointing me in the right direction!

On free BMD (just come across this!) there is a marriage record for a Stephen Carroll in Salford in 1898, which could explain the Sarah!

I can also see that John Joseph was married in 1904 also in Salford which would tie in with my great uncle's birth in 1905...

However, think I've found Joan's birth on Free BMD with Adams listed as Mother's maiden name!

Maybe I found the wrong tree earlier!

Will keep searching, you've given me some great pointers and if anybody knows any more I'd be really grateful!

wow! Gets curiouser and curiouser!

Do you know how I'd find out the Irish connection? I'm a total beginner at this stuff and it's mind boggling just trying to work my way back past my grandfather;-)

Thanks!

Having a look around at Archie Thomas Holloway that was married to Winifried Agnes Adams, they seem to have had too few children.

Some more information come to light is that my grandmother was one of around 8 children.
Her brother/sister married her husband's brother/sister. So her brother/sister married a carroll too.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for this, I can't believe you've found this information out so quickly!!

If you could find anything on the 1901 census - I'd be really grateful - I have absolutely no information about this side of the family - my mum didn't even know her grandparents' names:-( I believe either the father or mother of Joan died in 1927 from TB - either 1927 or 1933.

Interestingly I was also told there was some spanish jewish in the family somewhere but not sure how or where!

Thanks so much again!
