Rose Ayling-Ellis "who do you think you are"

Very interested in this one. Surprised they did not pick up that Pasqual and Thomasin were married in Exeter 23.2.1839, his name given as LION !!
son registered June 1841, Lyon, mothers name Holloway. (she might have been a widow given her age), pity they did not check for his fathers name and occupation.

1861 census shows him living with son (also a jeweller) and his daughter in law and grandson son, Pasqual gives place of birth as Savoy Italy, aged 60.

Lots of questions still to find, who knows, some of our members may be related, not us, but we have been to South Molton church during our research.

I quite agree Janet. I had to have a look after watching the programme as one of my ancestors lived in South Molton. I found quite a lot more, as I found copy of marriage which states his father was Josephus and Thomazin was a spinster.

That would have been nice to have been included.
Must be why they named the son Joseph.
My husband pointed out that that area of Italy in Napoleonic times was transferring boundaries between France and Italy, so he would have Italian descent even though nowadays it is "in France".
I wonder if there are any Holloway descendants who would be related to Rose?

There is a Tammy Holloway christened in Charles in 1798, the daughter of a Thomas and Mary Holloway. I see from the marriage register that Thomazin was the daughter of a Thomas and also on the 1851 Census she was born in West Buckland, an adjacent parish to Charles.
Thomazin (Tammy) Holloway's parents were Thonas Holloway and Mary Vicary married in 1790 in West Buckland. Thomas was the son of Thomas and Susanna (nee Huxtable) christened in 1770 in Charles. Thomas senior was christened in 1743 in East Buckland, the son of John and Thomasin (nee Courtice).
Thomasin Courtice had an illegitimate son called John in 1728 several years before she married John Holloway in 1742 in East Buckland. Her illegitimate son married with the name Holloway and was buried as John Holloway alias Curtice - he is a direct ancestor to me.
To answer the question in a somewhat long winded way, then if this is correct there are lots of Holloways in North Devon who will be related to and descended from the same family as Rose.
