parents or siblings of my grandmother. She married Albert (alf) Alfred Holloway.
We believe her family originated from scotland but don;t know how far back that was. came to london when Billingsgate fish market opened
Any help would be appreciated

We can't look for her birth without having some idea of where it occurred.......

Her marriage cert would probably be the most useful document as your starting point, as it would tell you at least her father's name.

I have been advised of the following but have not been able to confirm - Registered quarter 2 1908 as islington valume 1b page 330 believed married registration

I am quite new to this and am getting myself mixed up. sorry

So this is the marriage?

Florence Pricilla Hill 1908 Apr-May-Jun Islington Greater London, London, Middlesex

Albert Alfred Holloway 1908 Apr-May-Jun Islington Greater London, London, Middlesex

This may well be her birth............but you'd still need the marriage cert for her father's name

Name: Florence Priscilla Hill
Year of Registration: 1885
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Whitechapel
County: London, Middlesex
Volume: 1c
Page: 281

Without the father's name, an accurate census search will not be possible
