I’ve found some information on the son. Thomas Arthur Hollis, son of William, was born on 17 September 1910 and was baptised on 5 October 1910 at Holy Trinity Church in Darnall. Thomas married Annie D Oldham in 1937 in Sheffield and died in Sheffield in 1993. I’ve found the birth of one child; Loraine Jean Hollis born in 1947. I’ve not been able to find Thomas in the 1939 Register. Loraine appears to have never married and died in Sheffield in 1991.

The GRO Index shows that Sarah Hollis nee Hopewell had 9 registered births in Sheffield between 1902 and 1918. She then had a further 2 in the Bradford area (1920 and 1922). At least 4 of those born in Sheffield died in infancy
The baptisms for 7 of those born in Sheffield (including Thomas Arthur) are in our parish records over to the left. Search for surname Hollis, father William and mother Sarah*. The asterisk is important
