1861 & 1871 James Holden c.1807 Henheads, Stonefold

[Gerry]

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?
