Find Ancestors

I have been looking for my husbands, granfathers, death for 20yrs
Ronald Frederick William Holding b15th March 1894
Poplar London
married Olive Anderson 27th Jan 1912 Chorlton Manchester

I am sure he must be dead by now but I do not know when or where

Where have you looked?

Have you viewed the images on either findmypast or Ancestry? If so, which years have you searched?

When was his youngest child born?

Have you found Olive's death?

Is this Ronald and his family in 1901?

Without knowing when he was last known to be alive (at a child's wedding etc.) then it is a massive task to check each qtr. of each year from 1901 until when he would have been about 100. It can be done (especially if his death is recorded with both his middle names), but it will be a slow process.

Re birth of their children try FreeBMD which has an ever increasing amount of data on post 1910 births. Remember to enter mother's maiden name - you might find one or two leads.

There are these Holding births where the mother's maiden name is Anderson. Are any of these in your family do you think?:-

I Have Ronalds family back to 1694 and forwards to
now. Ihave all the births and 85% of the deaths . We know he was alive and living in London 1935ish.
I checked the death register 4or 5 times from 1920 onwards.There are 2 things I can think of 1. he changed his name . 2 he left the country any suggestions at all will be more than welcome.
Yes that is him in the 1901

It's the waiting ,I am a very patient person ,but Ron has led me such a dance over these past years. Half of me wants to find him NOW but the other half is saying no.
What do I do when the biggest wall in my search comes down.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I have a suugestion as to how you can occupy yourself when you have this problem all solved


want to start on my John Cadd??


He married Catherine / Katherine Mason / Masson 14 December 1741 in Edgecot, Buckinghamshire

Catherine's family has been traced back by others using the parish records to ca 1540

No-one but no-one can trace John any further back!


It is assumed that he was born in 1720 in Edgecot ..... although one familysearch record has him born in 1729. Methinks that is a little late!

He was buried on 22 February 1800, in Hillesden, a neighbouring village.


There was once a One Name Study Group on the Cadds ...... and they didn't get anywhere either!

People have been working on this since at least the 1980s.



:)))))

The only thing I have found so far on the name Cadd is in the Parish Marriage Register of Thornton Buckinghamshire

Robert Warner servant and Frances Cadd of Hillesden Jan 1783

I also found these
Richard Cade of High Barnard to Ann Parish 3rd Sep 1660
Nathaniel Caddy of Taploe 1734

and I thought you might find this interesting
