Anyone help please, HOLMAN

[Evie]

Hi Jan

Do you know I think you might just have found him, well done.

I was just checking something out as I had come across an Amos Holman looking for Moses. There was only one Amos born according to the IGI in Ardingly 1851 to a Richard and Sarah, he is still with Richard and Sarah in 1861 so this must be Moses. I wonder who Sarah possible Arnold is, could she be the sister of Frances?

WOW !!  I will check all this out, but off the top of my head the name SARAH AWCOCK is one I have come across before with Holman, probably her

Just had a look and I see that he is down as AMOS ROBINSON too !  so if this is him as it looks like Amos Holeman on census, why would they say he is son to head of house ?  What exactly is a NURSE CHILD, would he have looked after a youngster.
The other HOLMANs in the street are also relatives.

Thank you so much for all your help

Hi

A Nurse Child is a child that is looked after by another family for payment.

So pleased it's all coming together for you.

Added: some interesting reading for you about Nurse Child

Hi Jan

Mollyolly will be pleased with that lot

I had a look on the IGI for a marriage but couldn't see one that would fit with James' age. There seemed quite a few children born to a James and Elizabeth but I wouldn't have thought all from the same James and Elizabeth as there is too much variation in dates.

Hi, thanks for all the info. I do have a James and Elizabeth and the dates would fit in with kids they had for the 1835 one although I have not got Jane down, maybe their daughter. Will check it out
Thanks again, briliiant
