I do have a marriage certificate somewhere in a box for Elise Mary Holderness marrying Charles Hammond, and was always said in the family that brother & sister ended up marrying brother and sister.

Good evening everyone
I am working from my phone at present as I have now left work for the day.
I will look at the information that you have all kindly found for me this evening and work from this but might take me a while.
If I do not respond straight away bits because I'm working from my phone but do appreciate all the work that you have done for me.

Many thanks and kind regards

Good evening All
I have had a brief look, but need to get my head around all the information kindly given to me.
I shall probably take a better look tomorrow morning.
I really cannot believe that I have taken the wrong route, but we learn from our mistakes.
I still need to find the web search that I was using, so will dig my research box out of its hiding place.
I did many years ago discover that the Holderness name went back to Mary Queen of Scots.
Not that I'm saying my Holderness line is contected.

Regards
Samanth <3 <3 <3

Good morning All

I am still working my way through all the information given, which I'm most grateful for.
Still can't believe that I got the wrong Percy!!!
I may have some questions to ask once I have re-read again.

Hello All

I have now read all the information, wow very interesting (thank you)

I am confused on one section and can't get my head round it, think I need someone to explain to me???

Its on post time 16.33 there are three Holderness listed
Benjamin Cecil Stevens
Edward Percy Stevens
Henry Charles Stevens

I'm not understanding them as they don't seem to be mentioned in any other census listed apart from my Percy, but where did the Stevens name come from????

Regards
Samantha <3

ErikaH Report 31 Mar 2020 11:49

Stevens is the maiden name of the mother

Found here

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp


Henry Charles is on the census as 'Charles'

And Benjamin died before the census.........I posted the record

Samantha Report 31 Mar 2020 11:59

If you look on that post,
I thought Jane's maiden name was RATLEY

Now I am confused

I think you'd be well-advised to get a copy of Frederick's marriage cert when this is possible after the emergency ends

His daughter's birth was registered with MMN Rattley - but the sons born later had Stevens.

I have a feeling that Jane Stevens and Jane Ratley are one and the same - possibly she was illegitimate and her mother married after her birth

Ah ok this would make sense.

Sorry I was just getting a bit confused, back on track now.

Can I ask what sites you are using to find this information as I'm struggling to find anything.
