Patrick Report 7 Jul 2008 19:37

My Gt grandfather William Holland born Upper Tooting c1842 was married twice. He had a son born c1866 William A
In 1872 William remarries on his marriage cert it says widower.
In 1874 my grandfather was born.
Can anybody help with details of first wife,eg date of marriage
Also I think William A had children Arthur and Edwin. I am led to think that Arthur started Holland's Toffee
Any living cousins?

There are over 50 William Holland marriages in 1865/6 alone. The birth cert will help the search..
