I,m trying to find numbers to send for a birth cert. I,ve seached Ancestry and 1837 with no luck. The family names are, Leilley A holrord b.1874 Dewsbury Eunice Holroyd b.1875 Dewsbury Violet Holroyd b.1879 Dewsbury Korah Holroyd b.1882 shildon James b. 1888 Castle Eden Florance b. Castle Eden Any of the above no,s would do as it,s the Mothers maiden name I,m after so i,m hoping a birth cert is what I need Any help would be gratefully recieved Maureen

Hi, I will have a look on familyrelatives for you.

Well, are you sure you have right district? These are all the Holroyds born in Dewsbury covering the years you mention: Holroyd Ada Dewsbury.9b 645 Birth 4 1878 2 Holroyd Adam Dewsbury.9b 697 Birth 4 1878 3 Holroyd Amy Dewsbury.9b 709 Birth 1 1876 4 Holroyd Bessie Dewsbury.9b 604 Birth 4 1879 5 Holroyd Caroline Dewsbury.9b 650 Birth 1 1875 6 Holroyd Charles Frederic Dewsbury.9b 708 Birth 3 1877 7 Holroyd Clara Dewsbury.9b 614 Birth 4 1879 8 Holroyd Demina Dewsbury.9b 619 Birth 4 1876 9 Holroyd Emmie Dewsbury.9b 675 Birth 4 1878 10 Holroyd Frank Dewsbury.9b 679 Birth 1 1877 11 Holroyd Hannah Dewsbury.9b 701 Birth 1 1879 12 Holroyd Harry Dewsbury.9b 619 Birth 2 1875 13 Holroyd Harry Dewsbury.9b 591 Birth 3 1879 14 Holroyd Hetty Dewsbury.9b 772 Birth 3 1877 15 Holroyd Jackson Dewsbury.9b 589 Birth 3 1879 16 Holroyd John William Dewsbury.9b 755 Birth 2 1874 17 Holroyd Mariam Dewsbury.9b 656 Birth 1 1877 18 Holroyd Martha Ellen Dewsbury.9b 614 Birth 3 1879 19 Holroyd Percy Dewsbury.9b 752 Birth 1 1879 20 Holroyd Sarah Hannah Dewsbury.9b 653 Birth 2 1877

Entered Euncie Holroyd without a birth year and got this: Mothers name Champney Surname Forename1 Forename2 Forename3 Mothers maiden name District Page No Event Quarter Year View Image 1 Holroyd Eunice Champney Dewsbury.9b 1187 Birth 1 1920 But yours was 1875???

I can't even see any of them on any census where did you get these names? or can you post what census they are on Jeanette

Thanks for all your trouble Heather Yes the district is Dewsbury on the 1881 census May be they did,nt get married so never registered the children. I just dont know where else to look Maureen

Nope, theres something not quite right about all this, cant find your Leilley being born at all. Where did you get the info for their births from.

But the kids would have been registered under some name wouldnt they

Holroyd The fathers name was William b.1841 his wife or whoever was called Ellen b.1856 in Ireland. If this helps at all thanks again Maureen

What is the fathers place of birth?

found them in 1891 Holroyd, Ellen abt 1856 Ireland Wife Monk Hesledon Durham View Record Holroyd, Eunice abt 1875 Dewsbury, Yorkshire, England Daughter Monk Hesledon Durham View Record Holroyd, Florence abt 1890 Castle Eden Colliery, Durham, England Daughter Monk Hesledon Durham View Record Holroyd, James abt 1888 Castle Eden Colliery, Durham, England Son Monk Hesledon Durham View Record Holroyd, Lilley A abt 1876 Dewsbury, Yorkshire, England Daughter Monk Hesledon Durham View Record Holroyd, Sarah abt 1882 Shildon, Durham, England Son Monk Hesledon Durham View Record Holroyd, Violet abt 1879 Dewsbury, Yorkshire, England Daughter Monk Hesledon Durham View Record Holroyd, William abt 1841 Dewsbury, Yorkshire, England Head Monk Hesledon Durham Jeanette

To H eather Ive even looked on Durham County Records as three of the children were born in the northeast. but nothing there either. It,s a mistery I know they exist because Eunice married my grandfather and died in1900 Maureen

To Jeanette Thats the census 1881 all there but no ref. no,s on 1837 to get birth certs, You,ve all gone to so much trouble i,m really grateful Maureen

Korah is a sarah , surely?

Thanks all you Wonderful People I can now send for that birth cert at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You Maureen

Maureen, to make sure, I would ask them to check the fathers name, to save wasting £7. The only other Holroyds I could find roughly right dates were down in Chertsey, Surrey. Hope James was the right one. He was actually on freebmd aswell.

yes that is sarah and leilley is Lilley, there is so many Lilley's Jeanette

Maureen, I cant find a marriage in the likely time frame for William. It may be he married after the children were born. I was trying to save you sending for the birth cert, but I think you will have to. It may turn out that the other kids were registered in the mums name. Dont know, strange old lot, do let us know the outcome.
