There is a Thomas Holden death registered Oct-Dec 1837 at Uxbridge, vol 3, page 246. I can't find a corresponding burial to check his age at death. You could order a copy of the death certificate (if you haven't done this already) in case it is your Thomas?

for what it's worth. I had a look for burials for the other people on that GRO page. Didn't find a burial for any of them.

Apologies for the delay in coming back and thus the delay in my reply - life took over and I misplaced the link to the forums.

Many thanks for the leads and information you have found - certainly some leads for me to work on and hopefully progress with.

Have located the parish register for the marriage of Thomas Holden and Anne Young on Ancestry - http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/16...-00184/1893321
Appears they both signed their names.

Working from that, and given that St Marylebone and Uxbridge are just 16 miles or 6 hours walk from each other, and this make the two locations very plausible for job relocation within a 15 year time frame...

There is a baptism at St Marylebone in November of 1780 of a Thomas Holden, son of Thomas and Ann - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JMNR-G5L
baptism register on Ancestry indicates his full name was Thomas Senior Holden
http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/16...0_194664-00077
Senior as a middle name when one is an infant seems unusual to me

After that, the next baptism I can locate for a child of a Thomas and Ann is one for a James Janson Holden in 1793 in St Marylebone - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JWZP-PXX and http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/16...1-00375/530493

Then we get into the ones I've already located in Uxbridge.

IF the 1780 born Thomas is of the same family as the 1798 born Thomas, then I can only presume that either the 1798 born Thomas has the middle name of Junior, or the 1780 born Thomas died prior to 1798.

If Thomas Holden and Ann Young are my kin, and their children's birth/baptism years are 1780, 1793, 1795, 1797, 1798, 1800, 1803 & 1806 - then I wonder what happened between 1780 and 1793.


Haven't yet got any further on the burials mentioned, that's for another day.

Senior is a fairly common surname as well as being the opposite of Junior. So the name Senior could be lurking further up the family tree.

Thomas Senior Holden was buried in Marylebone in 1781. The other Thomas (b 1798) didn't have a middle name.
