Hi,I am also researching the name Holden in South Kilkenny,in particular Inistioge,Brownsford,Chapelhill,Powerswood,Thomastown, Ballyhale,
Wonder is this the family you are looking for?
Lawrence Holden, Ballyhale married Catherine Keenan , Knocktopher. Co . Kilkenny... Their daughter Johanna Holden 5 December (1857- 1909) married Michael Hanrahan (5/11/1850 - 1905) of Blackstone Bridge, Kells, Co Kilkenny.
The Holden family were evicted and went to Chapel Hill. This probably happened after Johanna married Michael Hanrahan. because Michael raised his family in Ballyhale..
