Hello Bob, How about if Charles L HOLLIS was married to the sister of Sarah NEWELL? Best wishes, Sally -----Original Message----- From: bob.newell@ntlworld.com [mailto:bob.newell@ntlworld.com] Sent: 23 May 2005 20:03 To: ENG-HAM-PORTSMOUTH-GOSPORT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PORTSMOUTH-GOSPORT] Problem I have a little problem to put to the wise and much learned of the list. I have from the 1881 Census RG11 1146/75 Page 28 Residence 4 Camden Alley (Royal George) probably a pub, relations which are a bit confusing. Sarah NEWELL b 1837 Havant, Beer House keeper, Widowed, Head of household. Also in the residence is Charles L HOLLIS Brother in Law, Married, Age 47, born Newport Isle of Wight, Retail Tobacconist. Now I have both HOLLIS and NEWELL ancestors. If Sarah is a widow then I would have thought her maiden name would have been something else, and if Charles is a brother in law then her husband would have been HOLLIS. So do I look for a Sarah HOLLIS or NEWELL in later Census and Kelly's. If SKS can help with Kelly's around that time to see who the pub licencee was before or after 1881 it may be able to clear the mystery up.
