Searching for details of Louis Urban Peveril Holliman

[RachyMorts]

Hi

I am trying to find my direct ancestor Louis Urban Peveril Holliman.  He was born in 1841 and married Susan Jane Rendall in 1873.  The last I have found for him is 1882 when his son, also Louis Urban Peveril Holliman, died and it was posted in a newspaper.  His daughter Edith Ellen Holliman is my gggrandmother and I can't find much information for her either or most of the family.  Please if anyone can give me any assistance it would be greatly appreciated 

Many thanks in advance
Rachel

Hello & welcome
Well you've certainly started off with a curious one.
I've searched all of the resources available to me & come
up empty as you did, however I looked at his siblings which are many
& find Louis son of Henry & Ann nee Peverill in 1841 but nothing after that.
In 1851 Henry & Ann appear with more children but not Louis who would have been 10.
There is however a Herbert aged 10.
There is no Herbert Holliman born c. 1841 with mmn Peverill.
So it looks like Louis is one of those people who liked to swap names (not that uncommon).
Louis & Susan had another son Hector Henry in 1878 & he married for the 1st. time in 1902
& states his father as Herbert Peverill Holliman & at the 2nd. marriage as Henry Peverill Holliman.
In 1902 Herbert Peverill signs as a witness so still alive at that time.

For whatever reason Louis/Herbert/Henry & Hector are flying under the radar
as they don't appear on any census that I can find.

They certainly appear to move around.
