I found Georges baptism on the Sheffield indexes

Holland, George (of Sheffield, born 1828-11-19).
Baptised December 14, 1828, by E M Hall at Sheffield Parish Church, Church Street, Sheffield.
Parents name(s) are Elizabeth & James (Cutler).
Note:

Shows the mother as Elizabeth,

It does state on the MC for James and Matilda that James is a Widower so it looks like he remarried. Is there a way of confirming that his first wife and mother of George was Elizabeth Simpson?

Thanks

Thank you for this, looks like I am on the correct lines.

Much appreciated will pass this information onto my cousins.

Have a good day

This is the son of George and Sarah.

I think that is where my cousins got the information from.

Is it possible they are right and the MC is the wrong one?

The mystery goes on.

Thank for the information Yvonne

Thanks for that information something to look into.

The mystery is that two of my cousins have James parents as James Holland and Lucy Ann Gregory married 04 Feb 1806 in Cathedral Saint Peter,Sheffield,York,England.

So I am trying to clarify whether the information I have is right or are they right and I am wrong.

James married Matilda in 1841

This is everything I have so far

James Holland 1809-1880

The story so far
Marriage certificate for George Holland and Mary Ann Simpson, shows that George’s father is James Holland a Cutler

The 1841 census
George Holland is a lodger not with his father James. George is unmarried, 23 years old born 1820 Sheffield and is a Tailor. This matches the Marriage Cert I have for George and Mary Ann

From the Sheffield indexes there is a baptism for George Holland
Born the 19 November 1828 Sheffield. Baptised, 14 December 1828. Parents are Elizabeth and James a Cutler this fits the above information.

I have not managed to find a marriage for James Holland to an Elizabeth

Death Certificate for James Holland
Died 29 September 1990 Union Workhouse, Sheffield, aged 71. Occupation table knife cutler. Cause of death Senectus (old age). Informant J Heasite, master of the union workhouse, Sheffield.

Working back from this with censuses etc.
1871 census
There is James Holland living with a wife Annie. James is aged 61 a table knife cutler born abt 1810 Sheffield. Annie is 44 born America. This is the only James Holland in Sheffield in 1871 I have found, however I do not think this correct.

1861 census
There is a J Holland who is an inmate at the Sheffield Union Workhouse (now this fits with the death certificate) he is a widower aged 52 a cutler.

1851 census
There is James Holland aged 42 born abt 1809 Sheffield is a widower, living at Sheffield Park; he is a table knife hafter. There is a son James Holland, aged 9 born abt 1842 Sheffield. There is also a lodger Henry Padler, aged 21, born 1830 Sheffield is a labourer.

1841 census
There is a James Holland aged 32, a table knife cutler, living with him is a Matilda aged 20 and John Gleave who is aged 60.

Marriage Certificate for James Holland and Matilda Bradewell Gleave

Married 09 May 1841 James Holland is 30 a widower, cutler. I cannot make out the residence. His father is George Holland and a cutler.

I am tempted to think this is correct and that James father is George???

Death for Elizabeth nee Simpson possible 29 December 1831

Can anyone point me in the right direction to solve this?
