Holyoake of Great Glen
« on: Saturday 19 January 08 20:07 GMT (UK) »
I'm a bit stuck on this on if anyone can help I would be grateful.
I have a William Holyoake b Abt. 1666 Great Glen and he married a Mary Fox in 1686, I have here a Catherine as William's mother and I think Thomas is the father, wonder if anyone out there would know what the Catherine's maiden name could be.

 Hi there ,
                 I have looked on the c.d i have for Leicester that covers Gt Glen and other surrounding area's , and despite looking 3 times cannot find a William Holyoake christened in Gt Glenn , neither can i find Mary Fox marrying William in the year's you give , are you sure you have the right date ? i have looked on Family search and have found the details you give , is this where your information comes from ?
         I will take a look again this time a couple of years apart from the dates you give , did your Holyoake's live in GT Glen , do you have census details for them , if not i will take a look at my other c.d for the area se what i can find on them ,
                                  gah

p.s.  I'm a Holyoak but have been unable to get past my gtgtgt grandfather brn in 1806 , he was brn in Kibworth more or less the next villiage to Gt Glen and despite there been a lot of Holyoak , Holyoake 's i cannot seem to find a connection between him and the other family's !!!!!!!!!
