I put the question mark because the writing was difficult to read and Jesse was the best guess I could make for what it said. Janice

Janice Jess can be a boys name. My brother-in-law has it for a second name but spelt without the 'e' on the end. Jeanette

The LDS site had the following: Cora Holman Age 24 Birth Place: Stow on the Wold, Gloucester England Living at: Rising Bridge, Henheads, Lancashite, England Married to Arthur Holman Age 24 Birth Place: Southampton Loddington Occupation: Pointsman On Railway Daughter, Sarah A. Holman Age 6 months Birth Place: Accrington, Lancashire, England This was the only information for anyone named Cora Holman in England. Information obtained from the 1881 census. Hope it proves helpful. Judy :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Andrea, Do you have any idea of the years involved, pre 1901 is pretty straight forward because you can look up census and other records, after 1901 and the census you have to rely on birth, marriage and death records ie 1837 online and maybe electoral registers. Gen
