Find Ancestors

Looking for any information on the descendants of Walter John Holland (1881 - 1951) and Mary Elizabeth Whittle (1880 -1973?). They had 6 children, Lucy, Edna May, Walter, Gladys, Richard Henry & a baby born 31st March 1911. That's as far as I have been able to get. If anybody shares any of these ancestors, I would love to know!

For info...

Mary Whittle. 1880 or 1881?
You have Mary Whittle 1881 Liverpool in a GR tree, as do two other people. Are you in contact with them?

I have contacted members in the past but they don't appear to be the same ancestors. There is one woman who has several of the Hollands in her family tree that I also have, but she has never responded to my emails.

Thank you Chris.. that was my original post 3 years ago that I had forgotten all about.. I'm no further forward today than I was back then! I'd like to know if Walter John Holland had any grand children and if there any descendants alive today.

Any thoughts on the info I posted?

To find descendants.......you'll need to do the research by looking for BMD info

..............have you tried looking in the years since you first posted?

Buy the death cert..........see who the informant was

Thank you Reggie for the information; it matches what I had also found out. I will look at BMD info. Walter John's brother was called Henry Smith Holland who was my great grandfather, which is why I am so interested in this side of my family. We know nothing about them and there is no one to ask that we know.

Looking at Walter's baptism record he was born 22nd April 1905 so this must be his death...

It might be a good idea to purchase a copy of the death certificate to find out who the informant was........it might very well be a family member.

Looking at Lucy's Baptism she was born 15th Oct 1906 so this is a strong possibility....

Hello ???

Hi, sorry.. Brill thanks.. Have looked into the Jeffs link with Lucy so that's filled in some gaps.. someone has also said that Baby Holland may well be Ada Holland born in 1911 in Wavertree so that is something else to follow up on. I hadn't considered that Edna had died so young.
I am very grateful for everyone's help on here!
