what was so special about east grinstead?? lol
My grandfather McKerrow married and lived there

And here is Henry's baptism

Name: Henry Bridger Holmes
Gender: Male
Birth Date: abt 1868
Christening Date: 25 Oct 1868
Christening Place: Hartfield, Sussex, England
Father's Name: William Holmes
Mother's Name: Hannah

But Agnes married Horace so Henry maybe irrelevant

Well that not hard to find out

>>>>Holmes William E. Grinstead 2b 227
OBBARD Ann E E. Grinstead 2b 227

However if Agnes is illegitimate or she did not know her father then you will be no further in your search.

The marriage cert should show Horace's father though

lol julie, I think I have spent enough on scotlandspeople with all the branches of McKerrow that seem to attach thenselves to me. So not willing to pay £9 for another certificate. I would probably go for the marriage one so that it would confirm her fathers name then I could probably work it from there.

Wow ..i wouldn't be able to ponder... i would have to get her B/C lol

just been looking at this to try to work it out. Looked at neighbouring houses as well incase they hold a clue.
will have to file it under 'dont know' for now......
ponder a little longer.

interestingly

Henry Holmes is the grandson of Benjamin Bridger and Agnes and Ada show no relationship to Benjamin on image. It appears that he took them in and raised them.

you lot are great at cracking stuff!!!!!
Yes McKerrow is originally a Scots name. THe first one supposedly being one of James V illegitimate sons.
(one of my claims to fame)

Nice one Julie! Still no sign 1881 though.

Her birth...maybe whoever transcribed it mistook the W for a V

Births Dec 1876 (>99%)

McKerrov Agnes St Geo.H.Sq 1a 357

The only option is to get the marriage cert I think.
She might be mistaken about her birthplace of course, if she was brought up in London. The name sounds Scottish or Irish doesn't it!
Jan

maybe she was with Holmans family in 1891 as Holms and Holman could easily have been mistranscribed.

thanks for looking.I have quite an extensive McKerrow tree and this one has just been added to somebodys tree as she had married Horace Holman but cant seem to work out which Agnes McKerrow it is. THought if I could locate her with parents she would adjoin herself to a branch...lol
There is no other info on her at the moment.

Thought I hadn't seen marriage either for a minute!

Have you ever located her birth on Freebmd? Can't see it myself, or find her 1881. No idea what registration district Pimlico is under.
Do you have her father's name by any chance?

looking to find an Agnes McKerrow b 1878 Pimlico London. Was trying to find her on 1881 census but no luck. Difficult to search for as sometimes they miss out the Mc but I looked under Kerrow and also just Mc but no luck. Would she be easier to find on 1891 I wonder. She married in Sussex West hoathly in 1902 I think so may be there on 1901.
