Hi
I am trying to find out any information about a John & Betty Holden (b.1786) from Westhoughton.
On the 1841 Census They are listed with William 24, George 11, Mary 10 and Ellen (granddaughter) 18 Living at Lower Terrace, Little Bolton.
I can find a marriage certificate for William, 28 August, 1844 to Mary Graham, where his father is listed as John Holden, occupation Husbandman.
But that is all the information I can find. I believe that they are also the parents of Richard Holden, born 1804/5, Westhoughton but can find no information to confirm this.
Richard married an Ann Bratherton 29 March, 1835 but I cannot find any other information before that date regarding Richard. There are varying dates of birth for Richard on the Censuses from 1806 to 1811.
There is a baptism for a Richard b.1805 at Deane, Lancashire with parents Roger & Alice, but I am not sure if this is the right Richard as the marriage records do not record the father's name at that time.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance.
Chez.
