It depends what you set out to find.
Do you want proof of every step - so what documents have you got?
Do you just want to go as far back as possible - are you prepared to travel to look up entries not on the internet?
Do you want to know what sort of lives they lead?
Have you looked at wills?
Have you found all of them in all censuses? Have you found all births, marriages and deaths?
What happened to Percy's sister Elsie?
If you are not pleased with what you have found, do you want some specific help?

apart from the age of the First John 1755 I would say quite lucky to get that far. A local history group might help you further.

Researching:
For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }

I was so hoping to find out more than what i have about the Holderness name/family in my tree,
My great aunt was Kathleen Elise Holderness born 1912
Her father was Percy Edward Holderness bor 1883 Lambeth
Percy had 1 sister that i know of Elsie
Their parents were Hannah Copper & Robert Edward Holderness (1848)
I have found that Edward had 2 siblings James & Sarah named after their parents Sarah Dyble & James Frederick Holdernes (1807)
James father was Robert Holdernes (1771) Yorkshire, and his father Jonh Holdernes (1755) Yorkshire
Should i be greatful that i have got as far as this?
