Dont panic girls,

the minerahistory.com site has not departed and will be back on line iminently.

Diolch,
Jas.

Im afraid I cant find any relevant info jumping out at me from the wrexham 1841 census to help you, (based on the info you have given).
How old would John Lloyd be in 1841?

Is this your William's parents marriage....
In 1875 a Frederick William Hollis married Sarah Shirley...
Where was your William Hollis born?

On the Free BMD site this is the only Frederick Hollis who married a Sarah.
Where was your William born?
Where has he been found on the 1901, 1891, 1881 census years? Have you looked for him?

From what I can gather no Hollis are to be found in this area in the 19th century ???which contradicts that Frederick Hollis was a native of the Wrexham area.
The Hollis name was most popular in the Potteries & Derbyshire.

This is a very confusing matter... You have the wedding certificate... Locate the chap in 1901, 1891, 1881 & info may jump out now that several possible leads have been put forward.

Is this your William's parents marriage....
In 1875 a Frederick William Hollis married Sarah Shirley...
Ref: (registered 3rd quarter of 1875) Stoke Upon Trent, Staffordshire. 6b 267

In order to confirm the birth of Sarah Shirley how old was she and in what year did she die?

Where was your William Hollis born?
William Hollis.. Birth Ref: (registered 1st quart of 1876) Derby 7b 533
William Hollis.. Birth Ref: (registered 3rd quart of 1875) Derby 7b 441

John Hughes, known to Wrexham fans as 'Jack', was born in Oswestry in 1912 and signed for Wrexham in April 1930, from Llangollen.
He spent three years at the Racecourse and won a welsh cup winners medal when he played in the 1931 welsh cup final against Shrewsbury Town at the Racecourse, scoring one of the goals. He also won two runners-up medals in the welsh cup in 1932 & 33.
Hughes' most memorable games were the 2nd round FA Cup ties in December 1932, when they lost in extra time at Brighton in a replay. Hughes was a member of the fine side that finished runners-up to Hull City in 1932-33, in Division Three North. He played alongside great players like Tommy Bamford, Harry Waller and Tommy Lewis with Ernie Blackshaw managing the side.
Hughes continued his career with Bolton, Chester, Chesterfield & Bradford, where his League days ended abruptly because of the outbreak of the war.
He served in the navy and later played for Oswestry Town, before finishing his career as a player-coach for Tywyn in the Cambrian Coast League...

Great news for Wrexham FC yesterday with the high court ruling the Racecourse must be returned to them from a certain crook developer... "Come on the reds!"
