James Holt - Middleton
« on: Thursday 12 November 15 22:53 GMT (UK) »
James Holt was born around 1832 I believe in Middleton. He is the son of James Holt a weaver and according to the lads marriage certificate he was aged 27 in 1859 when he married in Coventry. He joined the 4th Light Dragoons in 1855. Any more info on the family would be appreciated.

I know the year is a bit out but is this one more likely?

There are rather a lot of James Holts in the Rochdale / Todmorden area!

I did a search myself on familysearch org and found one for 1832
James Holt born 22 April 1832 in Rochdale
Father James (weaver) Mother Sally
This looks odds on the one I am looking for. Now I have to look up his parents.

:D If I was you, I would first check to find out if he is on the 1841/51 census,  when does he use pob as Middleton?
EDIT Who did he marry 1859 Coventry and where are they 1861?

Thank you for the welcome. James Holt married Hannah Webb in Coventry in 1859 but went to Dundalk with his regiment until he left the army in 1865. His daughter Matilda was born in Coventry in 1862 and son George in 1871 but I have no record of him on a census. His wife was in the 1881 census living with George and her daughter Matilda in Nottingham.
