It would help if you could tell us where he lived, where he was born (or said he was born) and where the marriage you mentioned took place.  Also, what was his occupation?

Possible:

March quarter 1856 - Blackburn Registration District - page 396

James Holden and Ellen Holden appear on this page.  LancashireBMD say that the marriage was Blackburn Register Office or Registrar attended.

Margaret [Peggy] Holden    71
Ellen Holden    34 - married
Briggs Holden    15 - grandson
Benjamin Holden    29 - son
Alice Holden    27 - d in law

This is how they are listed in the image as well. which suggests the older Briggs is related to Ellen
