Holden / Houlden Family of Sidney Township Ontario (Completed)

[Janice M]

Maybe someone can find some information for me! 

I know a lady who is about to turn 100 years old in August. I am trying to put together a little scrap book for her about her family. (She is already amazed that I found her on the 1911 Census) 

This is all I know even though it's not much.

Address in 1911: Con. 6, Lot 17, Sidney Township, Hastings County

Father: George Holden
Birth: September 22nd, 1863 or 1856 (depending on which census your looking at)
Ontario, Canada

Mother: Lavena Holden
Birth: February 29th, 1875
Ontario Canada
   
Children:

Pearl Holden
Birth: April 27th, 1900
Ontario, Canada

Lester Holden
Birth: February  1906
Ontario, Canada

Florence Holden
August 11th, 1908
Ontario, Canada

In the 1901 Census there name was spelled Houlden. (I believe this is the way it should have been spelled, but as she said, it was forever being changed to Holden)

Apparently, at some time the family moved to the Belleville area. Not sure if they remained there.

Florence married Harold Day (not sure when).
