I found the abovementioned Susanna's birth and baptism if it helps.

Susanna Holdsworth born 11/10/1837 baptised 20/11/1837 Father Charles Holdsworth, Mother Mary address: Simpson Green, Idle - Idle Upper Chapel Independent Church.

I didn't find any baptisms for the other children but I found this burial:

Mary Holdsworth age 34 years of Idle buried 25 May 1838 Idle Holy Trinity Parish Church.

I think that it must be way way past my bed time - of course they will not be in any of the census records for Calverley.  They would have been dead by then.

Thanks Brian,

Yes, I have to admit that this Hannah was an "iffy" one.  The information was provided to me by another researcher and I have not been able to prove that it is correct or not.  The informant told me that this Hannah Holdsworth was the same Hannah who married William Marshall 18 May 1774 Calverley.  As I said before, I have kept the record and have tried over the years to prove or disprove the connection for a number of years with no success.  I also believe that another individual has made the same conclusion without any proof and has added it to a tree on the familysearch website.  I do not like to discard any of my hints or clues in case they can be proved at a later date.

I haven't done any further research on this particular clue for years and you have spurred me on to have another look at her.

Hi, my Holdsworths come from the Eccleshill, Calverley area.  It is such a common name in that part of the country.  Have you tried looking for Houldsworth in the Calverley website database.  Sometimes mine are misspelt that way.  I have two branches of Holdsworths in my tree - one is the direct line from my Father William Littlewood Holdsworth and the other is a line from John Littlewood who married Hannah Holdsworth, who was the daughter of Thomas Holdsworth.

Sometimes I find the search from my Holdsworths totally overwhelming and I have to take a very long break to clear my head.

Please feel free to contact me if you think that we might be able to share information.

Good hunting, Lesley
