Occupation Interests / How to find sailors?
« on: Saturday 08 June 13 19:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I was told my great grandfather was a sailor. Could somebody point me in the right direction to try to find out more?

I've managed to find his name - Henry J Holloway, born about 1884 but can't find his birth.

He had four children, but there was a big gap between the two youngest from 1917 to 1923 - due to the war perhaps?

Any pointers would be welcome.
Thanks!
Jo

Tipperary / Looking for any Carroll family who moved to Salford/Manchester ~ early 1900s
« on: Tuesday 28 May 13 21:25 BST (UK)  »
I was told my grandfather's family were originally from Tipperary. I can only trace some of his siblings and his parents back to Salford in the 1911 census - but not sure when they came over or why.

This is the information I have found out to date - would love it if anybody knew any more!

My grandfather  was the youngest of 10 surviving children. His name was David Andrew Carroll (born 28th April 1923 (either Salford or Coventry area) and died 23rd May 2007 in Anglesey)

His eldest brother, Stephen (or Joseph Stephen) was born in Salford in 1905. Died in Coventry in the 1990s

Their father's name was John Joseph Carroll, born ~1881 and mother Bessie (Elizabeth?) Carroll, born ~1882.

I found two further siblings living in Salford in 1911 census - William Carroll (b ~1907) and Ellen Carroll (B 1909)

Thanks!
