Hi everyone, I’m new to this site never been on any sort of forum before, so please bear with me. I’ve been researching for some years now and as I’m sure we all have, I’ve got a few brick walls. The one I’ve been chipping away at for the longest is Samuel Holt born Heywood Lancashire 1831. I Located his birth, found him on the 41, 51 and 61 Census, all on home turf. Then I lost him until 1900 when he married my widowed great grandmother, in Atherstone Warwickshire. Where had he been for the last thirty years? He didn’t join the forces, I’ve checked newspapers, I found a few convictions but cannot be sure it’s definitely him, and thy were only minor. And although he’s described as a widower on the marriage certificate I can’t find any wedding, and believe me I’ve looked for hours. But the main problem is why would he start calling himself Sam Harvey Holt/e? Was he hiding something, new area new name?
Help, I just don’t know where else to look.
Thanks in anticipation
