Hi,
I have found these for you 'Sydney Holdcroft married a Georgina Richardson December 1923 and had a child Marjorie E born December 1927'. Frank C Holdcroft married a Grace Fawcitt June 1922 (the marriage was in York) and had four children Robert C born December 1922, Victor R born June 1928, and twins Gerald and Maisie I born December 1929. Hope these help in you search.

Thanks for the information the only one I was not aware of was Edna, do you have her date of birth?

Hi,
I'm not sure of Edna's birth year but I know she is still here with us although I haven't seen her for a few years now:-(
Edna married Ronald Openshaw & lived in Leeds. They had two children, Elaine & Stephen.

Hi Carole
Yes I am a member of the Holdcroft family, been doing the family tree - history for years. I was born 2 March 1955, my link is 6 generations back a branch off John Holdcroft and Mary Dorkins, Thanks for the info I have found Edna ' marriage and birth . Born 3rd quarter of 1924 and married 3rd quarter of 1949. Any help with your branch is very helpful. I guess we are distant cousins.
kind Regards

Hi Carol,
Sorry to hear your sad news, it's always hard to hear another twig has fallen of our tree. Being away on holiday hence the late reply. Hope all goes well when you scatter his ashes. Hope you are still researching the family tree.
Kind regards
