I think i might have messed up on my tree and wondered if any one could trace family for this person:
Percy Edward Holderness born 1883 Lambeth cert 1d 554 1st Qtr
Died 30 July 1915 - vol 1.78 page 342
Married - Staines 4th Qtr 1912 cert 3a 21 to Alice Maude Hammond.
This much i know is correct.
But i think i have the wrong siblings and parents for Percy.
Would anyone be kind enough to check the census for me please.
Much appericated

Hi Libby
This is the one i have on my tree, but i had an e-mail the other day from the grandson of Percy and he gave me different names so i started to worry that i had got it wrong, looks like i have not though.
Could i ask a favour from you, could you look up and see if either of the sisters married a Charles Hammond for me please if they did then we know its the correct family.
Only if its not to much trouble
Thanks
Samantha

Hi Alan
What a star you are, this is the one so i do have the corret family thank god.
Charles James Hammond married Elise Mary Holderness,
Brother and sister married brother and sister most confusing and we thought todays standards were bad.
Nothings really changed has it? just kept quiet back in those days.
Thanks very much

Date range: 1828 - 1849.

Found this on national archives sounds very much like him. As on the 1851 census James is an army pensioner.
