Without wishing to encroach on Billy's thread, I just want to say thanks to Shirley but I don't think that census is my Ellen as she was born Hurst Green/Mitten not Bolton. |

In favour of your theory, Billy, is the fact that I can't see the birth of an Edith Mercer in Bury around either 1887-8 or 1879. |

Ellen Mercer or Edith Mercer being the same person as in the 1891 census married to Daniel Ingham in 1918 |

well, I think that Ellen aged 3 Became Edith and married a Daniel Ingham in 1918 and her aged has been transcribed wrong putting a 9 instead of a 0 because if she was born in 1887 it ties in exactly with the age at death for edith ingham ( Blackburn, Sept 1951 - aged 63 |

This is going to get messy if we don't keep the two Ellens separate. There's no reason (so far) to think they're related. |

Thanks all for the response , This is the first time I have looked for the holden family, I am finding it quiet confusing, It started with a John William Holding and his partner Ellen Mercer who had a Daughter also called Ellen Mercer ,Ellen Senior then married John William Holden but kept the name Mercer for her Daughter that's when it goes funny |

Don't know if this is of any connection to your Holdens. |

Does 'back on the trail' mean that there are previous threads about these people? |

Best way would be to search trees Billy. Tha chances of a Holden seeing your post are rather slim. |
