Oops sorry Sue I did not spot that Olinezer was a girl.

Should have checked that more closely LOL

Hi GB

Although they state that Olinezer is a girl. I have other male Ebenezers in this line!

Can't quite get a grip on why all three children would disappear by 1851.

Thanks I'll look at the deaths.

Sue (with another headache)..lol

Olinezer Holland - could be Ebenezer.

Possible death in 1845 for Ebenezer and Lydia in 1841 both in Yeovil

also a death for Sarah Elizabeth in 1845



Possible birth for Lydia on IGI in 1837

It’s George that I am interest in. In each of the above census records he is a tailor. What I cannot fathom is the three young children on the 1841 census and whether they are George and Maria’s. They don’t appear in the 1851 census.

Help please I am in a complete pickle with this

Thanks

Sue
