I don't have a newspaper sub either. I access British 19th Century Newspapers via Lancashire Libraries. |

Me again, Just looking at all my threads again and did anyone notice that in the 1851 census for Catherine Holyoake where she is a Ward that her brother John is also recorded as married but no wife ? I hope this isn't going to be a search for John in the "dodgy search site ". !! |

To MC, W and C - I really appreciate your interest in my wayward rellies and just want to say a HUGE thank you - It gets more interesting every day I could not have found all this info out myself. For one, I dont have Newspaper sub and like Wendy I also have subs for several other sites. |

Yes it has got to be them. You and Christina are gradually pushing me into a paying for a sub for British Newspapers Archive! I already have GR, Ancestry and FMP but I don't have any other vices these days so I am now tempted to pay up and see what I can find |

Plus you can look at some of his work in Google images. It does say he was a Captain but I think he said he was a Major when he married Catherine. It also says that his father bought most of his commission |

Makes interesting reading though Wendy. All his life history apart from the missing years, which must be the ones he spent with Catherine. |

Robert Westmacott was also an artist but I'm not sure that is the connection |

Rosie, this was really one to get our teeth into - I bet there's more waiting to be uncovered. |

WELL DONE GUYS - Youv'e really gone to town - thank you , thank you, thank you - my fellow rellie found an article about Catherine Julia Holyoake who married Edward Ward and 6 months later she left him to live with Alfred Howell. He later changed his name to Maitland. |

I think you're right Christina. Mary Ann Woolley that she was visiting also was born in Redditch I found her marriage hoping for a clue in her maiden name but she was Mary Ann Thomason, so no clue there |

Have just read another, very long (about a full newspaper page), article in "North Devon Journal - Thursday 10 November 1870" about the whole affair. |

Found another version of the newspaper article from 1870. This time it says that Catherine was 'at present residing in Liverpool'. |
