Looking for any info re Rebecca born 1860 who was my G. Grandmother. She married William Richard Holtom in 1891 but I can't find her on any census in this year or after. I have fould a Rebecca but she is not married and has a daughter who I have no knowledge of, however her neighbour is a Joseph Mathews who is one of the witnesses on her marrage cert and I believe may have married her sister Ruth. So unsure if this is her. Any info very welcome.

Re: Rebecca Wiliamson Holtom

Hello ladylinda, Thank you for finding all that for me. That is definitely my Rebecca and I found the 1891 record but had the daughter down as Charlotta B Williamson so was unsure if it was her. Rebecca had a daughter born before she married called Rose so this all fits, we had no idea that Rose's name was Charlotta, so that is a real find. Also Sarah Ann could very well have remarried so that gives me more information, and having the addresses is wonderful as I have some lovely pictures of her and her children so may be able to place them. Thank you again Maria ( Ps thanks for IM very very useful)
