Thank you for the marriage reference. I've been using Ancestry, but OPCs are a darn sight quickler to scan.

OH has Holditches in his tree.
John Flinn Holditch, son of George and Lucretia Holditch, was a Cider Merchant and Rate Collector. He lived at Bankside, Southwark with his wife and family. His wife was Hannah Newton, sister of OH's 2x-great-grandfather James Newton, who also lived at Bankside for a while as this is where his Firebrick Merchant's business was base.
