Ladykira, Mark said he was going to do that. So I didn't think it necessary to do it for him, although obviously I could have.


Mark -- the thing is, you have called her COLENA MARTIN in your most recent post, when you called her COLEANNA SWEENEY in your first. The info has changed post by post on almost every point, I'm afraid.

I found the Holroyd-Martin marriage at the time all I had was your info that her name was SWEENEY.

Your most recent post says she was MARTIN. I don't know whether that is because that's the marriage I found, or you have other info showing that name.

Because she married Holroyd as MARTIN and you had given her name as SWEENEY, I was looking for something to explain the change of surname, e.g. a previous marriage.

There are no Holroyd-Sweeney births, but I do see a Holroyd-Martin birth that would appear to be their child.

So I don't understand why you said her name was Sweeney, is the thing ...

Mark, come on, that wasn't "someone" who found the other siblings' names -- in the 1911 census posted on page 1 -- it was me, the one and only person, to my knowledge, who has been helping you out here and by PM.

You know how Ladykira found those births, because I explained it carefully to you at least once and understood you had understood and were going to do the search ...

hi there janeycanuck

may i apologise firstly for giving you the wrong information this was not done on purpose.

i have found marraige certificate of john holroyds wife and yes his wifes surname was martin

i am also trying to find information about john holroyds siblings now and
i do keep trying on the site that you told me about, but please remember i am very slow at this far from as experienced as your self but also i do appreciate all that you have done for me

as and when i find information out i will post it on here you might want to double check that i got it right please if you would be so kind

very kind regards

mark
