Hello Bernard,I have got back to my 3 xgrt grandparents John Holiday who married Elizabeth Barker 1806 Kirkdale,I have not really gone further back as yet because I am not certain about John Holidays birthplace,he dies before the 1851 census,I have not found a baptism for him in Kirkbymoorside,but have found some other Holidays that were baptised there of the right years that may or may not be siblings of John. John was a Stonemason & it does seem to have been the occupation of many of my Holiday family in the KMS area.Thankyou for replying to my message.regards Joan. This is my line of Holidays,they may be of interest.....
