No, you can view scans of the indexes on FreeBMD site.
Births to 1983, Marriages to 1961, Deaths to 1960. Click on view images to go to the search page. It can be time consuming, but it is free.

Good to know that, thanks Mona

Thank you so much for your time, it's so sweet of you.
Yes it is me, I have all those queries on the web. lots of different sites, as of yet, nothing from them.that is all the knowledge I have, which as you see, is very little.
I must thank you for spending the time searching through those years, I really have no idea when he died, or when he remarried.
I have a few photos of him, thats all.
So would to know, to at least find a resting place. So I shall plod on ,one day.
Thank you again, for all the time you have spent on this.
Kind regards

Hi Wigan

I have a question for you.

You must be related to Elkanah through his first marriage, and what appears to be their only son? How do you know Sarah's middle name, is it from a birth cert? (I searched FmyP for births of Holme with mmn of Callow 1917 - 1925 and only found one reference).

I have searched deaths on FmyP 1917 to 1927 so far and found no Sarah yet! I will continue.

Cheers

Have you considered contacting Clwyd Family History Society / Flintshire Record Office / Denbighsire Record Office for any records, newspapers etc they might hold? Elkanah is not really a common name.
Out of interest I found a reference to a Mabel Winifred S Holme, who died 1986 in Clwyd listed on An'y - could this be Winifred?

Hi Wigan

Still not found a death of Sarah - have searched up to and including 1930.

Then decided to search for marriage from 1930. Have found the one you want!

Elkanah Holme (Hollos) Jun 1945, Salford, 8d, 1152
Winifred Hollos (Holme), Jun 1945, Salford, 8d, 1152

So will now go back to deaths as we have a better time frame for Sarah's search.

Cheers

Hello Sue p

Thank you for your imput, very much appreciated.

The only info I had was a marriage cert, that I managed to send for. and a few photo's. a couple of which were to each other, with Cain, Marie written on the back of them, and one of them both together.

When the marriage certificate came, I was able to link it all together, that she went by her middle name. ( as I did, once upon a time)
But looking at the certificate again, it looks more like Marian, so I shall go and have a look at my photo's again.

On the cert it said, Sarah Marian Callow. age 28, she married Elkanah Wood Callow in 1915.

My grandparents would have Sarah & Elkanah.

Thank you so much for your help.
Many thanks

Hello Gasser
Thats a very good thought, I had not thought of that, My fingers on the keyboard works quicker, than my brain does at times.
I shall look into that one.
As for the name that sound very very possible, I had not come across that one before. so I shall look into that.
Many many thanks
wendy

Then decided to search for marriage from 1930. Have found the one you want!

Hi

Sarah's death (closest fit age wise)
Sarah M Holme (54), Mar 1942, Barton, 8c, 918

This makes her born approx 1887/8. Which brings me to why I asked a question previously.

On looking at Holme family:
1891 census: (RG12/3205/141/6) Elkanah & Parents.
1901 census: (RG13/3734/15/21) Elkanah, parents and siblings, all at Regent Rd, Salford.

Callow family:
On 1891 census (RG12/3221/147/41) Sarah is at Regent Rd, Salford with parents and siblings.
1901 census (RG13/3709/86/1) Sarah is in 'Brown' household as a domestic nurse.

Birth: Sarah Marian Callow, Dec 1886, Chester, 8a, 401.

So Regent Road, Salford is common to both families. I didn't find Sarah's parents in 1901 to see if they were still on that street.
Co-incidence??
