I spotted a couple of newspaper articles on Findmypast which appear to refer to your George Holloway.  I don't currently have a subscription to Findmypast so I can't view the original newspaper reports to see the full article, but I have posted below the slightly garbled OCR text snippet from the free search. 

If you don't have a Findmypast sub, maybe a kind Rootschatter could look up the original images for you.

Hi Jool


Thank you for posting those. I haven't got a findmypast login so if anyone else does it would be interesting to see those articles. The 2nd one mentioned my great great grandmother Elizabeth Holloway née Pinnegar, and I must admit I had never taken her as a barmaid or landlord's wife! It would be interesting to see how she looked, George too.


My late mother, bless her, was a Holloway and I wonder if there is, or was, a family resemblance?


Sleep well every one
