The description of Elizabeth's father John being a weaver is not likely to be correct. Husband James was the weaver. John the father was initially a joiner (1821-1826) and then a farmer (1827-1867). Father John the joiner and farmer is correct as James Holden is with the family in the 1841 census and the probate of John in 1867.
In the 1841 Census James Holden and Elizabeth Holden are living in the same home as John Fitton and Nancy Fitton and family - most likely they were Elizabeth's parents and family. John was described as a farmer.
Elizabeth is the 1901 census but not in the 1911 census.
