THE MYSTERIOUS HOLLOWAY ALBUM
Last year I was contacted by a
woman in Ohio who had purchased an old photo album in a second hand
book store; she had no connection with the album or the people in the
photos but she was
afraid it might get thrown out and lost forever. There was a
typewritten list in the front of the album identifying the people in
the photos so using these names she searched the internet until she
finally happend upon Pat Tuffin's
family tree on Rootsweb. Through him, she got in touch with me
and
after many emails and discussions with my sister we finally decided
that
the people in the album were almost certainly photos of the family of
George
and Mary Jane (nee Whittle) Holloway so we purchased the album.
The album suggests that George and Mary Jane's sons, Edwin George
and Albert Walter,
emigrated to the US, probably some time in the 1880's. This page
contains
some of the photos in that album; few of the photos were dated.
