I've never got by Gordon Holdsworth birth records before and always thought his father would be called Gordon so quite surprised to see a Frank in the family. My granddad, father and brother are all Gordon so probably due to Gordon of Khartoum who died 13 years earlier.

Looks like a remarriage for Elizabeth:

Hi,

I've been searching for my granddads family for years and this post seems the closet yet. The details I'm looking for are for my family roots in the Oughtibridge area near Sheffield. My grandfather was Gordon Holdsworth and was probably born there around 1900 and your post would have it as 1898 if the same Gordon Holdsworth and moved to the Hull area. His father, my great grandfather was a file maker from Oughtibridge in Sheffield the same as the Gordon's in your post.
My granddad had a half sister called Hetty and Mary and maybe a brother called Peter who emigrated to Australia. I believe his father, the file maker, married a woman who already had been married and had children which I believe I read in one of the posts. Any help greatly appreciated.
