Hello Cem
Mary HOLLYWOOD's sisters, Bridget and Catherine were in Rotherham at the time of Mary's death.
Perhaps Mary's husband moved there, to be close to family for the children?
Perhaps he emigrated?
He could have also, put the two young ones, Patrick aged 4, and Sarah aged 2, at time of death of their mother, in a Work House?
Bridget HOLLYWOOD's husband did that to the two youngest, when Bridget died, leaving two young children.
I'm a descendant of Catherine HOLLYWOOD who emigrated to Queensland on "Scottish Knight", from Glasgow, after her marriage in Rotherham.
I'd like to hear from you. I've replied to another message you had on RootsChat re HOLLYWOOD surname but you didn't respond.

I am trying to find out what happened to an Irish Imigrant family - they fall off radar after 1876.
James (jas) McParland Ironstone Miner) marries Mary Hollowood in Forkhill Co. Armagh 1861
First son Francis born in 1862 baptised at Coatbridge St Patrick's
Then....
Bridget 1866
James 1868
Patrick 1872
Sarah 1874 - all born and bapstised Dalry
1876 Mary dies registered by her Husband in Dalry
Then...NOTHING, not a sausage, until 1890 when Francis marries in Broxburn. I can find no trace of the others.
I have scoured the 1881 census for any of them. Francis seems to have settled on 'McFarlane' but I have tried McParlan/lin/lane/land/Carlane/lin/land/Farlane/ling/land/Mac - ad infinitum
They just have vanished. Would really appreciate any pointers or help thank you.
