Research on the Hollyman family can be found here as I add to the detail which I can find, and substantiate.

A marriage exists between a Thomas Hollyman and a Jane Carter in 1825 at St Botolph. This Thomas Hollyman was born in Bierton, Buckinghamshire about 1797, the older brother of Richard Hollyman, at the Princess Royal. A family tree exists of the Hollymans.

By 1839 Thomas Hollyman is a Publican at Mountfield Place, Kennington at the baptism of his son, George. The 1841 census lists Jane as a laundress, with little sign of Thomas. By 1847, daughter Elizabeth, and their sons George and Henry are to be found at the Licensed Victuallers school.

[I sometimes wonder about this, as the three children are placed into the Licensed Victuallers school to be brought up.
The subscribers to this school and institution choose to vote for those children who have been recommended for a place at the school where they will learn a trade etc.
These three children of Thomas Hollyman receive places at the school, but at the same time their uncles are running respectable public houses, and one of the family eventually becomes a governor at the Institution.
