Hi Dizzi.
Yes thanks, I have looked on there. St Andrews only has Baptisms and they go up to 1900 only. No Maudsley or Holden.
Cheers Joan

do you want me to have a look at the lancs record office Joan? I may be going on Monday or Thursday this week.

Jax - I must have been editing Emma to Ellen when you put your post up. Thought I might have done it before anyone noticed. Silly me! Glad you are still posting. Would miss those pigtails

Thank you to All. I think I need the MC. Thomas is my connection ( he was Mum's uncle). I know he married Ellen in 1919 and that they had a daughter. My potential connection on Genes is from the Maudsley side; and we are both in the dark !
Hoping the MC might put the light on !!!!!
Will keep ypu informed of progress with assistance been offered from genes members.
Thanks again
Joan

Hi.
Marriage of Emma Maudsley (sometimes spelt Mawdsley) to Thomas Holden. I know they married at St Andrews, Accrington Lancashire in 1919.
Need to know her fathers name and any witnesses that may be related.
