Can I ask the following questions:

You say everything is unknown, how do know he joined the Army?

Any ideas on his year of birth, if he had a middle name?

Cheers

Rachelle

cannot see any John Holden's born to that couple

Edit Oh yes I can now born 1927

jax

there are lots of John Holden born 1910 to 1920 on Freebdm.
we really need to know the district or county.
edit oops I see its hereford shire

Thank you everyone

Susan did you have any more information that could help us track any more information?

I posted the birth of the only John and if he was born in 1927 seems a bit young to have served in the war unless at the very end

jax

Hi Jax, yep far too young I would say if that's teh right birth record.

Maybe he was a James known as John or something like that...we need Susan to come back and explain:

1: How she knows his name is John
2: How she knows he came to Australia
3: How she knows he served in the Army and not in another force

Susan all this helps us build up a more accurate picture of the person you are looking for, and lets us know what sources you are referring to.

Cheers

Rachelle

Well you can see the children they had and John was the youngest and a twin it seems

jax

Holden/Bishop

If that is even the right marriage that Glitter Baby ound, Susan has not confirmed or discounted it..so there is no confirmation of dates or anything!

have a look at the other thread on TTF towards the top of page 2

This is the thread that moonbi is referring to -

Hi All, I have found out John Holden who served in the Austrialian army lied about his name to sign up as it was Ronald Patrick Holden, possible age a bit off too as his father would not want him to join up. he took his grandfathers name. :D
Thank you for your help
John was twin to joan.
