The Diary of William Rowbottom
1827 February 21st – Audacious robbery last night. George Holden, of Holden Fold, and William Travis, of same place, cotton manufacturers, on returning from Manchester, where about the hour of nine o’clock at night, furiously attacted in a field, near Holden Fold, by six men, who robbed Holden of 104 sovereigns and a quantity of Bank of England notes, the whole amounting to Pounds 211. Travis was more fortunate; from him they got only a small quantity of copper, a knife, and some stocins. The villans made a clear retreat with there booty. Hand bills have been stuck up offering thirty guineas reward for the discovery of the offenders.

The naming of the children is a strong indicator that the above baptism is correct.

There are at least three credible marriages of John Holden and Betty.

This last marriage seems the most credible because, the witness Thomas is most likely John, next oldest brother, and the loction of Holdenfold is consistent with the following census locations.

John was a weaver.

John is not found in the 1841 census of Royton but his wife Betty and some of the children are at Holdenfold, Royton. Also in the 1851 census Betty and children are still at Holdenfold.

There is a younger John and Betty Holden, both aged 35, and family in the 1841 census also at Holdenfold, Royton.  These are a different family.

Possible Death: NBI 24 Feb 1837 John Holden, aged 59, St Paul Royton Lancashire.

Royton shares with Chadderton many of the aspects of growth associated with the Industrial Revolution and the cotton industry. The Victorian town evolved from its ancient hamlet centered on Royton Hall, former home of the Byrons, Percivals and Pickford-Radcliffes.

ROYTON, 2 miles N. of Oldham, in the parish of Prestwich-cum-Oldham, under which it has a chapel of ease. Besides which, here is a Quaker's Meeting. Great quantities of coal, of a good quality, are got in this township, which contains upwards of 3000 inhabitants, chiefly employed in the cotton manufactories.

Royton Hall, in Royton, the seat of Joseph Pickford, Esq. formerly the property of the Byron family. In the house is a curious stone staircase, remarkable for its strength
