Thanks to both Marian and Irene for their advice below. The 1841 marriage - which I hadn't seen thanks Marian - is worth pursuing and I'll do that. And getting Joseph's birth cert is a good suggestion too Irene, and thanks also for the pronunciation suggestion. Both of you have helped me progress a little with this family.

A pleasure! Hope it helps, thanks for the reply. It occurs to me that in a proper old fashioned working class Lancashire accent Hollows might be pronounced something like Ollus. What do other listers think?
