Angela

So you can confirm that Elizabeth Fallon's father is Henry?
Who is James father ?
What are the occupations of both fathers?

Hi Angela

I am willing to help you but please put an update on your thread on History directing the Berry research to this thread and keep the other just for the Holden line. This is to avoid duplicate research.

Here is a possible for Elizabeth Fallon on 1891 census record

Age: 10
Estimated birth year: abt 1881
Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: Henry
Mother's Name: Margaret
Gender: Female
Where born: Kearsley, Lancashire, England

Civil parish: Kearsley
Ecclesiastical parish: Holy Trinity
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England

Street Address:

Occupation:

Condition as to marriage:

Education:

Employment status: View image

Registration district: Bolton
Sub-registration district: Farnworth

Household Members: Name Age

Do you have the Marriage Certificate for James Berry and Elizabeth Fallon? This will give the fathers names so keep you on the right track.

Any updates should be attached to original thread.
The general rule is one post per family to avoid research being duplicated.

On 5 July you started a thread on history asking for the same information. This information was readily given so I don't understand why you then started this thread yesterday so that the same research is repeated.

Please do not post same request twice
