Find Ancestors

I dont have much to go on here but I'm trying to find the family of George William Holton, he married my Nan in 1930 in Lincoln.His age is given as 23 on marrige cert and address is Stamp End Lincoln. His fathers name on the marriage cert is George Henry Holton.

Spoke to a relative who gave me this information......
Just speak to mum and she thinks great granddads wife was called Florrie and her surname could have been Ward.
I remember going round to Grandma's and a woman called Elizabeth Ward used to live there. Grandma used to live
in a terraced house in Stamp End. Never knew grandad but he was in the First World War. He came home but don't
know when he died but think he was gassed when he was in the trenches. Mum keeps mentioning all these Aunts but
doesn't know many of their names. She did say she remembers going to Manchester and Sheffield so I think that
could have some connection.

I found a marriage between Florence Edith Minham and a George Henry Holton in Middlesex 1905. And a birth of Edith Amy Minham 1883 but can't tie up all the ends with 1911 census.

Have you tried FreeBMD cos that's where we would look first.

The marriage cert to Florry is the way to go I think for his dads name and possible family witnesses

seems to be a discrepancy in his birth year 1884 on the 1911 census and 1877 on his Army record

AHHH

think he was actually Henry George

Name: Henry George Holton
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1877
Registration district: West Bromwich
Inferred County: Staffordshire

ties with his army age and born West Bromwich
