Holt Family

[pennyannesherratt]

Need help researching the Holt family, I have hit a brick wall with John Holt who is my 4th great grandfather, born 1787 I think Bury? He married peggy chadwick on the 02/02/1809 at St Mary the Virgin, Bury and went on to have six sons, I have found he's death in 1827 in Bury, It's says he was killed, I don't know how he was killed, so the information I need is hes parents or how he was killed.

I presume that one of these is the baptism of your John Holt - so - do you know the names of the children of John Holt and Peggy Chadwick ??...if so are any named
Alice
Richard
James
hopefully one of the children of John / Peggy will be named after one of these 3 choices
good luck

Presumably this is the death you are referring to from lancashireOPC

17 April 1827 St Mary the Virgin, Bury, Lancashire, England
John Holt - age 40
Abode Pitts o'th Moor
Cause of Death Killed
Buried by Thomas Selkirk Minister of St. John's Bury

I can't see anything in online newspapers about this.  I suppose it could just be something as simple as a fall as opposed to being killed by someone

Hiya Rosie - can you confirm that if he was 40 when he was buried  on 17th April 1827 , the 3 baptisms state the earliest birth was 28th April 1787....does that mean that John Holt was possibly born 1786 in Bury - or - he wasn't born in Bury at all
do I have that right ??

Hi,

I think you may have the wrong John Holt death.  There is a John and Jane Holt baptising children at the same time as your John and Peggy.  He was a Miner and their abode was Pitts o'th Moor.

What about this one

John Holt -
Age: 41 years
Abode: Bury
Buried by: Thomas Selkirk Minister of St. John's Bury

As your Holts seem to always be living around Tottington/Elton, have you considered this death taken from www.lancashirebmd.org.uk

1838 John Holt aged 49 registered in the sub district of Elton.

Edit: I cannot find a burial for him yet .
Buried 2nd January, 1839 Bury Wesleyan Methodist Church, Union Street
John Holt aged 49 of Elton
