Hi Sian, As Lindsey has already found for you, George Holder, born 1840 in Cobham married Matilda Summerfield in 1st quarter of 1880 (1/1880)
George died 3/1894 age 56. They had the following children :- 4/1882 Harry-- 3/1884 Alice-- 2/1886 George William--2/1888 Ellen-- 1/1890 Ernest Albert--2/1891Thomas--3/1894 Edith Mary--2/1897 Walter Charles.
Matilda then married George William Summersby 4/1899.
More recent public BMD records show, the children of Walter Charles and Edith Weller appear to be :-
2/1923 Ernest.T--2/1923 Henry (twins?)--3/1927George--1/1929 Edith.E.M--4/1933 Margaret.J.I -- 2/1936 Elizabeth.A.A --2/1936 Marie.J. (another twin?)
However, I could find no record of the birth of a Walter Charles Holder c1926.
Hope this is of some help.

Im sorry it looks a jumble but in order to find Walter in trailed back a hundred years . What you need to do is follow each of his brothers and sisters to see who they married then you will have a whole heap of relatives ,, anyway it was fun, thanks for being so patient. nite Lx

No George Holder was the first husband then she married Summersby but it looks as if all her first family kept the name holder. I know its a big jigsaw puzzle

Parents Charles and Charlotte

Matilda marries George Holder

has several children including your Walter

George dies, Martha remarries and has baby Summersby but all the children stay Holders.

Henry her brother hangs around !

Suggest you print it all out and then you can lay it all out in order.

Confused ? Any questions tomorrow please Lx

the name could have possibly been passed down!
how would i be able to find out who fathered Martha's children
alice, george, harry, ellen, ernest, thomas, edith & walter? as they all have the surname holder & not summersley which was her 1st husbands name??

George is her first husbandwho must have died before 1880 remarriage, so the other children are walters siblings
Henry Summerfield is her brother because as you see her maiden name was Summerfield Tarahhhh!!!!



Name: Matilda Summerfield
Year of Registration: 1861
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Epsom
County: Surrey
Volume: 2a Page 17

but if you wait a bit I have found her I think age 10 in the poorhouse which means her parents probably have died



AM I BORING YOU YET ????????
