James Holden was born c.1807 in Henheads, Stonefold.
I have his census records for 1851 (HO107/2250 Folio 298 Page 4 )together with
Betty Holden wife, 44, born Accrington
Abraham, son, 19
Isaac, son, 13
Martha, dau, 11
Betty, dau, 8
Ruth, dau 5
All children born Henheads.
By 1881 James is a widower, still living in Henheads. With him is grandson James age 15 (RG11/4139 Folio 110 Page 5).
I am trying to fill the gaps and would be grateful for any 1861 and 1871 census records. I think he may have died before the 1891 census.

Without confirmation of the marriage cert. this can only be a guess at the correct Martha Holden who married Jonathan Birtwistle at St James, Haslingden, 1858.

Hi Mary
Many thanks for all you have found + all the extras as well.
I think James died in 1892 (I have his 1881 census) and I wonder if you could spot him in the 1891 census?
Hi Nemisis
Your first posting so welcome to the site. I can't seem to make a connection to the site you mention - can you tell me what is it about?
Has anyone else made a connection?

Shoemaker? that sounds odd or had he changed his occupation in 1881?

Wow Mary you have been busy and many thanks for the rolling support and facts and figures you have found for me. I have a lot of Holden and associated names to sort out which will keep me busy for a little while.
I had found bits about Ruth Holden. George Hargreaves was her second husband, her first husband died aged 22.
Thanks again
Gerry
