Find Ancestors

I am looking for my great grandads brother Arthur Hollis who was born in 1890 in Hackney. His parents were Agnes Paterson and John William Hollis. I have his birth Certificate and have him on the 1901 census with his siblings. But what ever happened to him Im clueless. My aunt said she thought he died in the first world war. But I can't find any record of his existence after the 1901 census. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Ann
No I don't think that Willaim is connected. I know that in 1911 Arthurs parents were seperated and his mother Agnes was living back in Scotland and she re married. As for Arthurs father John he was staying with his mother Esther Hollis in Buckinghamshire where he came from before he married. Arthurs brother Alexander (my great grandfather) was living in Islington.

Mike I will have a look at that link thankyou

Mel yes thats correct that is Arthurs other brother who lived with his mother and sister Ettie in Scotland.

Thank you Mel

Does he have a middle name?, not sure which one he is on FreeBMD...

Chris :)

Hi Chris no on his birth cert he is just Arthur Hollis

This one Chris

Births Dec 1890 Hollis Arthur Holborn 1b 707

Yes thats correct.

Yes, just wondered, as Wapping, more Stepney, St. George East way, than Holborn, perhaps they couldn't remember at 1901 census time, lol.

Not seeing him 1911 though...

Hollis Ettie St. Geo. East 1c 385

Yeah it can get a little confusing as there are quite a few mistakes on the 1901 census for them. Yeah I have been looking for him for ages I can't find him on the 1911 census. Although his father I wasn't able to find on the 1911 census when I typed in his name. It was only when I searched for Esther Hollis on the actual original transcript it has John William Hollis but it had a line through it.

Thankyou for looking :-)

I have been wondering ab9out this one???
