Seeking help with marriage of Thomas HOLDEN
I'm having trouble with a certain pair of my 4x great grandparents, and I asked about them in a Facebook group and was told to come to this forum.
So, here is what I know so far, precious little I know, but it's all that I've been able to find out in about 3 years of research. Husband: Thomas HOLDEN Wife: Anne / Ann (unknown maiden name) Marriage Date: (unknown) Marriage Location: Suspect Uxbridge, Middlesex Children: Mary, Elizabeth, Thomas, John, Eliza and William Children all Baptised at St Margaret's Uxbridge between 1795 and 1806 Children who have been located in census records have ages consistent with Baptism years Father's occupation: Labourer in 1803, as recorded on Eliza's baptism. My main two questions are When and where did Thomas and Anne get married? And what was Anne's maiden name? I have access to World Ancestry, but no other subscription site. Many thanks |

Welcome! This is certainly the right place for help with Holdens, although our Holden expert specialises in the Lancashire ones.
There is this possible for Ann on the 1841 census: http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/89...7/?pid=6937740 Cottages at(?) Tile Kilns Ann Holding 80 N Thos Allum 15 Ag Lab Y |

Burial at St Margaret, Uxbridge, 26 Feb 1845: Ann Holden, age 83, abode Uxbridge.
http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/15...8/?pid=9635443 If this is the right Ann, and if her age is correct, they may have had some children before they moved to Uxbridge as she would have been in her thirties by 1795. |

Oh, or there is another Ann Holden burial there 13 Jan 1837, age 58, abode Uxbridge.
http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/15...9/?pid=9630516 And an Ann Holding buried 8 Jan 1815, age 42, abode Uxbridge: http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/15...5/?pid=9631423 So, lots of possible burials for Ann, but I haven't found any for Thomas yet. |

Very odd. Marriages on Ancestry start post 1840. It's an ancient church (I think we visited last year - if so, it has been reordered so altar faces west)
London Metropolitan Archives may indicate whether the earlier registers survive. I can't imagine that the current church would have any interest in keeping them, and in their absence, I don't know whether there are any bts - Surrey has none pre 1800.

Uxbridge marriages for that period don't appear to be online.
There's a marriage in Marylebone in 1780 for Thomas Holden and Ann Young; I wonder if that might be a possibility? http://freereg2.freereg.org.uk/searc...045b8eb90009cb |

According to the National Archives' information about St John the Baptist, Hillingdon, "A chapel dedicated to St Margaret was built in Uxbridge before 1248. The building was rebuilt and enlarged over subsequent centuries. St Margaret's became a separate parish in 1842 (see DRO/10)."

In ancestry's London Marriages and Banns database, they have a page supposed to be from 1800 which says "Uxbridge. NB no marriages solemnized at Uxbridge, see Hillingdon":
