The General's Chat Room
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
With the retirement in Australia of Pamela Goesch and Lionel Fowler after approximately sixty years spent researching the true descendants of General Joseph Holt, Bernadette (Ber) Holt has offered her research services to our chat rooms. We would all be aware of and appreciate Ber's amazing family research abilities. The Holt Family Fellowship researchers are extremely lucky to receive such a wonderful offer. Most of us understand the tremendous work that this involves. The Holt Family Fellowship has accepted Ber's offer with our deepest gratitude. It is fitting that our family research in our chat rooms will now be based in Ireland.
The Holt Family Fellowship reserves its right to restrict this generous service if necessary. Our chatters are reminded of the principles of "fair dealing".

| 5th Feb 20 | 03:05:47 | Carole Parkes | You'll probably need to copy and paste those links into the address box of your search engine. |
| 5th Feb 20 | 03:04:08 | Carole Parkes | Some Avoca parish records are on line here https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0460 Other records here, but you need to know which parish you want https://registers.nli.ie |
| 18th Jan 20 | 06:18:03 | Carole Parkes | Lee, if you scroll down the page to the very bottom, on the right, you can search for your Mary Grattan(a?). Or use Ontario as your search word. We have a few Holts in Canada. |
| 7th Dec 19 | 04:34:37 | Lee Larkin | Does anyone have information on the Holts of Ontario Canada? Anthony Holt and Mary Grattona nd their children, Thomas, William, Martha, Elanor, Mary Ann and Samuel? I am related to Thomas Holt from Mornington, Ontario. |
| 5th Sep 19 | 07:45:33 | Carole Parkes | Please ignore the previous post. This same Joseph Holt, painter, is still in Blair St in the 1841 census, so cannot be Joseph Harrison Holt. My error. |
| 5th Sep 19 | 07:40:05 | Carole Parkes | Now I'm in possession of a marriage certificate for one of Joseph Harrison Holt's daughters,thanks to Matthew Fowler, and it definitely states he is a painter, I think the following may be relevant. The 1828 Pigot & Co's Directory of Liverpool gives a Joseph Holt, painter, living in 8 Blair St. We know Joseph H Holt and his family sailed to America from Liverpool in 1832, so is it possible he was living in Liverpool prior to this? There is no sign of him in the 1834 Directory unless he changed his trade to a confectioner and also changed his address to 13 Castle St. My guess this confectioner is a totally different Joseph Holt to the painter. I need to look further into this. |
