I haven't been able to make Henry a brother to the three sisters yet.
I can't work out which are the baps for the three sisters as there are so many Holdens! The only reason I thought James might be the son of the baking Elizabeth/Betty was because she was the only single lady alive and in the right area at the time of James' death, but that doesn't prove anything - then seeing her sister had a couple of children outside marriage encouraged me. The Henry who died in Preston seems like just a random Henry of the right age. He may well be the one who appears on most censuses (inc 1841) with a wife Margaret in Preston. Back to the drawing board with James, I think.........

It seems a little odd that your contact wants James to have been the child of a Henry and Betty when the baptism they have is for an illegitimate child!
I feel sure that's the right baptism, at least!! lol (James Holden born Feb 19 1828, baptised March 28, at Blackburn, mother Betty.)

Contact imagines the vicar mistakenly left Henry's name off the record. No, I couldn't find any convincing baptisms for the three sisters either, nor for Henry. Last hope is a bastardy order but I don't remember ever finding any for the Blackburn area. OC
