Do you know when George and Cissie married? Maybe you can find her correct name in the index. Gwyn

No births recorded to anyone with the maiden name of Austin from 1950-1952. Love to do more but I need to pick my kids up from nursery! K

Hi Was Cissy her real name? I think it's probably short for something else? I'm not sure what though. I've looked through 1976 and 1978 and she's not there either. I think a trawl through the birth indexes is the way to go. K

I will try to find a death certificate for Cissie - good idea - at least I know the year she died. Just hope her husband didnt outlive her and register her death!!! Thanks Jay

Children are likely to register the parents' deaths if the spouse has died. Have you checked these? A trawl through the GRO birth index for HOLLOWAY children with mother's maiden name AUSTIN is the only other way I can think of. Gwyn

Im trying to find whether there are any descendants after 1950 in a specific family line. The parents : Cissie Holloway (nee Austin) George James Holloway George was the son of George Hugh Holloway, and Belvina Bonfanti / Jee. His brother was Jimmy Nervo of the Crazy Gang. I really dont know where to start to work out whether Cissy and George had any children. Cissy died in 1977, and was living in Brixton, SW London in 1951. George was born in 1895. Anyone have any bright ideas? Thanks Jay
