Thread: Martha Holliday

Hi everyone,

Have been seaching for years for a record of birth for my G Grandmother Martha Holliday born c1856 Southport/Liverpool, mother unknown, father on her marriage certificate to William Craven is shown as George Kent (coachman - deceased). Martha was brought up by her grandparents William Holliday and Elizabeth (nee Lakes) in Huggate, Yorkshire. Any help would be very much appreciated,
