I found him on the 1851, in a totally unexpected place (but one where I have looked many times before). And, I think I already have a record of his marriage (just need to shift some suitcases, tennis rackets, hockey sticks etc) from the desperate days when I collected EVERY James Holden I could find. Now all I need to do is find out: 1. What he was doing living in Bolton. 2. What his wife died of, and when. 3. What his daughter died of, and when. 4. Why he is calling himself a Factory Engineer! (But its him alright, he is the only one I have ever found, right age, right birthplace). Oh, and then I still have to find out who his parents were - but hey,its taken me five years to get this far!

At last!! After five years of head-banging, crying and screaming - Ive found him, my 2 x GGF James Holden, with his first (unknown) wife and child!!!Hurray - must go and let him out from under the stairs, where I incarcerated him a month ago, for his persistent hideyness. See - it works, you have to let them know who's boss! Delirious Olde Crone |
