Find Ancestors

I am searching for details of birth and the parents/grandparents of Clara Annie Sellers who married David Holland in Salford Lancashire on 26th January 1907. Clara's Father William Sellers was a Railway Porter and given as deceased at time of marriage above. Clara's Mother was Elizabeth born in Dublin Ireland. Clara died in 1928 aged 47. and is buried in Pendlebury Lancashire. I have also been unable to establish the maiden name of Clara's Mother Elizabeth
Thank You Pam

Thank you for your speedy response the census details are correct. would like to find a marriage for Clara's Parents but don't know if that was in Ireland or England? Kind regards Pam

Her sister's child looks to be illegitimate :

Birth:
POWER, MARTHA (no mother's maiden name)
GRO Reference: 1893 S Quarter in SALFORD Volume 08D Page 145

Perhaps they never married?

POWER, CLARA (no mother's maiden name)
GRO Reference: 1881 S Quarter in PRESTWICH Volume 08D Page 391

Thank you this will give me some more options to explore. Kind Regards Pam

I Have been unable to find David Holland born approx. 1878 Pendlebury Lancashire in the 1901 1891 or 1881 census. In the 1911 census his Mother is living with them and named as Bridget (widow) I have his marriage certificate to Clara Annie Sellers and his Fathers name is William Holland. Any help with this would be gratefully received. Have also not found a marriage for a William Holland to a Bridget.Thanks Pam

Hello Pam- I have to go out shortly, but could you let us know the witnesses from the marriage certificate, William's occupation, and David's address.

Not seeing Bridget's death.

Williams occupation was Coalminer. At the time of David's marriage on 26th January 1907 in Salford registry office he lived at 20 Rutland Street Salford. I am unable to give you names of witnesses on marriage certificate until Friday as I am away from home until then and don't have it with me, but I had written the other details The address of David's Wife at time of marriage was 16 Hazel Street Salford. Thank you for your help. Pam

I've had a quick look but I can't see David or Bridget before the 1911 census- I'm nudging this up in case anyone else can spot something.

Just to recap- we are looking for David and Bridget before 1911:

In 1911 David is listed as 33 (b1878 Pendleton, Salford)

His mother Bridget is living with him. She is listed as 70 (born 1841 County Galway).

Can anyone see a possible death for Bridget- perhaps under different first name or different surname?

Since my last post I found a David Holland in the 1901 census with correct birth year and place of birth and occupation living with wife 'Emile' . We know from 1911 census that he had only been married to Clara Annie Sellers for 4 years , but I cant find a marriage for David to Emilie or a death for her before 1907. ? Thanks Pam

HOLLAND, DAVID HUDSON
GRO Reference: 1878 S Quarter in MANCHESTER Volume 08D Page 329

Maybe not the above (although ties in with DOB on the 1939 register). This seems to be the marriage of that David's parents and the Christian names are wrong

The birth certificate for David Holland with parents Charles and Hannah (Hudson) is not the correct one for the David I am looking for, as I have this certificate (9th July 1878)
The occupation for Charles is Provision dealer but my David and his Father were both coalminers and my David's Father is William and his Mother Bridget. On the 1901 census it gives David's wife as ' Emilie ' born 1876 Barston Nottingham. Thanks for helping Pam

OK- well found- didn't see that entry on FMP. This looks to be Emilie in 1911- birth Barnston on original:
