Doug
Lamming states sometime in the 1920's, but evidence is to the contrary.
There were no deaths registered of any George H. Holden's in that
timeframe. In fact, the first two that come up of correct age were
two George H's, who were registered in Liverpool North and Liverpool South
in June 1935 and December 1935 respectively. |
