I am looking for any one who is related to John Henry Holdsworth and his sister Mary (children of Charles and Marjorie), who left England after WW2 and went to Australia. The contact was lost with them and all we know is that they were thought to have married |

The only marriage of a Charles Holdsworth to a Marjorie was in 1943 and they did not have children with those names |

There was no birth of a John H Holdsworth in England in 1923. The closest was a birth registered in Huddersfield district in the last quarter of 1922. And there was no Mary birth with the same mother's surname as that John. I don't see a John and a Mary Holdsworth born around those dates with the same mother's surname at all. |

There is a match on mother's surname for a Mary born 1925 and a John H born 1921 in North Bierley. |

John went to Australia as a single that we know. His parents were Herbert and Annie Goodman, Mary also went to Australia as a single |

In any case, at least we know that Charles N Holdsworth married Marjorie Hare in Wharfedale in 1943 (I assume they are both deceased) ........... but only from more searching .............. to find something k could have told us i.e. Charles's full name ......... |

Well spotted my mistakes! I was in a rush and muddled the names. The 1923 is a transcript error on his christening record as there is says born 1923 but yes he was born in fact in 1921! |

The John Henry Holdsworth is unlikely as it would mean his birth details are way out - this one is born 1927. |

Interesting to see who else lived there - now I need to find out how to get marriage details for this John Henry Holdsworth to see if he is the one I am looking for. Any ideas how this is possible as all the sites I looked at seem to suggest that cannot access marriages that were in last 70 or so years? So I am no nearer being able to prove if this is the chap from England |
