I'm now trying to get hold of the marriage details for Patrick Holden.

Patrick was born on the 25th June 1916 in Carlow and it is believed that he married a girl from Tralee and then joined the irish army where he stayed for a number of years.

Unfortunately,I do not know the name of the lady patrick married, or have any details of her family.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

What a great tale of an individual who wanted to do his bit!!

I hope there is some link to the Holdens I belong too.

Hi.
I'm not too sure whether this will help or more to the point confuse the issue!!!

My grandfather John Holden was born approx 1876 and died in 1947 which makes him 70 yrs old at time of death.
I know nothing of his father or mother or even if he had any brothers or sisters,but he was married to Bridget Holden,nee Berney, and they lived at 12 Tullowbeg St,Tullow,Carlow.

They went on to have 10 children and I am led to believe that during their lives they lived in St Mullins which is just outside of Graiguenamanagh,not far from the Kilkenny border.

John Holden died in his sisters house,her name was Doyle at the time, in Tinnahinch on the 4th Sept 1947.

I have no idea where my grandfather was born,or as previously mentioned, who his parents were.

Hi.
I am trying to gather as much information as I can about the Holden family who lived at 12 Tullowbeg Street,Tullow. This information I gathered from the 1901-1911 Census but the information there is very limited.

It only shows the birth of both Mary and John Holden, when in actual fact there were a total of ten children born to John and Bridget Holden.

I am also trying to gather more information about the parents,John and Bridget Holden,nee Berney.

I know John Holden was a horse trader and known locally as,"john of Tullow" and that he died at his sisters,Mrs Doyles house, in Tinnahinch on the 4th September 1947,aged 70.

He was also a widower,so I would dearly love to find out about his wife,who was my grandmother.
