Hi, I came across your request for info re. Roger Holden.
Roger was the youngest child of Edward (Ted) and Ann (Annie) Holden nee Heffernan.
The eldest was Edward followed by Winifred, Phillip, Ethel and Roger.
He was employed by India Mills I believe as a spinner. He was not called into the army during WW2 as the textile industry was essential to the war effort and employees were required to stay with their employers for the duration of the war. Rumour has it that Roger was among a group of young men who attempted to climb the very ornate India Mill Chimney in an attempt (failed) to get dismissed and join the Army.
Roger had a fine Baritone voice and was a leading member of the Darwen Amateur Dramatic Society and appeared in their annual stage productions several times until leaving for Nz.
He was married in Fleetwood after meeting Marjoury in hosital whilst he was receiving treatment for Appendicitus.
Your Grandma had moved to Radford St in the 40s across the road from Noble St. In the 60s she moved Greenways Home for the erderly.
When she died she was buried in Darwen Eastern Cemetery along with Edward and daughter Winifred who had sadly died age 52.
Check St Josephs church for marriage records maybe.
