Well.........
Taking advantage of an extra-long TOGG3 week, I pose the impossible question: who might my MFMMF be?
In "MFMFF: father of Robert Pickles of Cowling WRY" we mentioned the marriage of my MFMF, Robert Pickles, to Mary Holoron/Holoran in Dec Q 1853 at Skipton, WRY (9a 87), a second marriage for Robert that produced my great-grandmother Emma Pickles in 1854. I need to order that certificate, but have not yet done so.
Mary's father is the goal of this [extended] week's challenge.
I had started to look around and I thought signs were pointing in the direction of Ireland, but to be honest I really have no idea! With the Holoron/Holoran spelling I didn't find any likely matches in England, but the name could take many forms, some of which (such as O'Halloran) are common.
I have Robert Pickles bap. 9 July 1820, buried 2 Dec. 1878 at Kildwick-St Andrews, but I have no dates other than the marriage for Mary. Robert and Mary lived in Cowling.
This may be a bridge too far without at least getting the certificate first. Anyone???
