I am in the process of reconnecting with the Hoskins side that are children of the immigrants to Canada and we are sharing information with each other.
The Holden side is a complete mystery for which we have little information. On my father’s birth certificate, the address is listed as 40 Boaler St. Parents names: father James Holden – occupation hairdresser (Master), mother Eva Holden nee Hoskins.
Frederick James Holden attended Boaler St. School, and a letter of reference was included in his files with The LSH and Barnardo’s. I have been able to access numerous copies of Ups and Downs, the newsletter for Dr. Barnardo’s homes in Canada. In them are references of donations to Barnardo’s from my father and uncle Walter, as well as correspondence and photos. When dad returned from serving in WW2 with the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion, he stopped by the head office of Barnardo’s in Canada and his visit was mentioned in the newsletter and a letter to him.
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could provide details of Eva (Evelyn Hoskins) and James Holden. I’d like to know where she was born, and where she was laid to rest. There was a coroner’s investigation into the death and it was ruled accidental.
I would appreciate any information on James – birthplace, details of death and place of burial, as well as information on where to look to trace that line backward.
Thanks in advance for anyone who may be able to help.
