Paula No, not London, but some of the more recent ones (1900) were/are in the Home Counties. (There are of course MILLIONS of people called Holden.) Olde Crone |

just started on the boyfriends tree. His mum was a Holden before she got married. She was born in London but was evacuated to Leicester in the war and the whole family ended up moving here. Any of your Holdens from London? Paula |

Merry I cannot describe to you what I am going to do to this man when I find him (not on a family site, anyway). I am at present laboriously working through every James Holden marriage in Lancashire from 1840 to 1858, trying to cross-match with dead wives. Needless to say its not working very well and there is of course no guarantee that he married in Lancashire or that his first wife died there, either. Olde Crone |

Doesn't it make you want to rush and get your time machine out, shoot back to 1851, or whenever, and give them a good clout??! Merry |

Merry I said more than oops after sending for the cert and finding him with his father on a previous census - and then finding him on a later census, STILL with his father, wife and child...and knowing he wasnt the right one, cos MINE was also on the later census, if that makes sense, with new wife and child somewhere else. GRRRR. Olde Crone |
