Find Ancestors

Can I just clarify - is it the same person who died in 1937 that you want us to check passenger lists for in the early 40's? (Sorry if I'm having a blonde moment!)

PS - thanks for sticking to one thread!

I am posting again on this thread as I don't want to make another thread and waste a thread when I already have a perfectly good one on the Holloway family.
Basically, the other day my mother said to me that she never went to her father, Wilson James Holloway's funeral and her mother had to walk to it because she had 'fallen out with the family', this is something new to us.. We were discussing it with other family members and it is possible that he split up (or even divorced) his wife, Annie before he died in 1937. Are there any online records for divorces in the late 1920's and 1930's?
It is also possible he went abroad as he was a steward on a boat. Could somebody please clear up whether he is on any passenger lists in the 1930s or early 1940s. (He was born in 1901 in Greenwich.)
I know this is a very personal issue but I would like to know whether he indeed died when my mother was a child.
Many Thanks,
Gardener47

These indexes only go up to 1901 so I can't see any born later than 1906.

Have you got them on the 1911 census?

I have no credit left to look them up on there, sorry.

Yes Mike but I think Gardener wanted us to look at the London Marriages and only the banns are on there.

I already posted the marriage half an hour ago ....

Holloway George - Woolwich 1d 1843

On the 1901 census George is a Hairdressers Assistant.

I have done a marriage search and it is not listed only the banns.

Here they are on the 1901 census.

Hi Mike *, I have found them on the census but I am struggling to find George on a census before 1901 and I wondered if someome who has access to ancestry.co.uk could o one of those marriage searches that has the parents names on it.

There is only the banns on the indexes and not hte actual marriage but it does say that it was certified on the 22 April which is the next date after the third reading of the banns.

Fathers will be on the marriage cert.

Once you find the couple's ages ( again from marriage certificate)
you'll be able to look for them on the census and ultimately find their birth certififcates on freebmd.
