When did he marry? Who to? did he have any children by 1871?

I don't see a George Holbrow born 1849 Clifton Bristol in the 1881 or 1891 censuses, please give full details.

have no idea as to parents.



all i have to go on is the george was born in 1849 clifton.

married sarah howell in  1871, bedminster.

children arthur  henry and lily.

seems strange how george disappeared from time of birth in 1849 and resurfaces in 1881 then goes to live in wales by 1891.

would love to know where he was between 1850 and 1880.

at the moment im trying varient of the holbrow name holborow

I can't find anything closer  :-\ (but for the record, this George seems to disappear after 1871)

I think you'd need the birth cert to be able to search for a family group.

Sept quarter 1849
Clifton
XI 288

PS I can't see a marriage for George Holbrow in December quarter 1871   ???

There isn't a marriage for Sarah HOWELL(S) in 1871 either

Although there is a Sarah Jane in Bristol.

Do you have the marriage cert?
