I am looking /searching for the brothers of JESSE HOLT, my Grandfather. He was born in 1855 in Birmingham, England. His brother WILLIAM THOMAS, was born in in 1852 and brother ALFRED was born in 1857. Their parents were; ELI HOLT and HARRIET WALKER HOLT. Eli was from Stourbridge, Kingswinford, Staffordshire. William, married MARIA REYNOLDS, who was I believe from Bedfordshire. They had three children, William Thomas, 1874, Harriet 1876, and Sarah, 1882 I know nothing of Alfred. Jesse went into the Glass Cutting trade as his father Eli, and came to America around 1882 to 1888, and Alfred and William Thomas went in to the Walker side of the Gas-Works trade, or Brass Works. As Grandfather William Walker made candle snuffers. William Walker's father, Samuel, was in the brass trade. I have no idea where they went after 1881. I think I found them in that years census but cannot be sure. Jesse is listed living at Cromwell Street. He was married at the time to ELIZA JANE ANSELL. She died and Jesse married my Grandmother CATHERINE CONATY, from Ballyjamesduff, Co. Cavan, in New York City. They had one child MARY HOLT, my mother. She married William J. Flynn in Brooklyn 1916. I am hoping that some one may have interest of both the Holt and of the Walker families from Birmingham, England The Holt Family legend is that the men were Baron's and are related to the HOLT'S of ASTON HALL.
