Hi Steve,
The only marriage thrown up by FreeBMD for the period 1855-1865 is as follows:

George Holloway Mar 1863 Kensington 1a 219
Sophia Pilbin Mar 1863 Kensington 1a 219

Hope this is what you're after,
Emeltee

Hi Emeltee,

Thank you. I do hope so, but searching the name Pilbin throws up Pilbeam, which is not that surprising.
There do not seem to be many Pilbins' at all, which I think is good.

Thanks again.

Steve.

Well blow my britches.
I've just noticed that George Holloway in 1861 is in service with Sophia Pilgrim and it says she was born in Hawkhurst, Kent.

Head of house is Henry Pickersgill occ. R.A portrait painter. I assume that R.A is Royal Academy.

At last, something to brag about.
