Travelling People / John HOLLAND
« on: Friday 01 June 18 17:53 BST (UK) »
Hello all,
I am on the trail of my 4 x great grandfather John HOLLAND. He is born c.1791 in Scotland and describes himself as a Hawker. Does this information fit in with a travelling lifestyle?
He appears on the 1841 census return with his wife? Sarah and their daughter, Priscilla in Woodstock, Oxfordshire. By 1850 Priscilla is married and living in Hammersmith. I can't find John Holland/Sarah anywhere!
I feel as though I am on the back foot with this search. Any help or ideas where I can go next would be very much appreciated. I have literally drawn a blank!
