| Notes |
- John Holden was a sergeant in the 13th Light Dragoons. He joined 26 March 1829 and was by trade a butcher. He served in Bangalore for 9 years and the East Indies for 9 years.
He left the army 13 September 1853 suffering from chronic rheumatism caused by the climate and exposure during long service and the disability has not been appreciated. He was considered as unfit for further service.
He was then appointed Sergeant Major of the Mells Troop North Somerset Yeomanry in a letter from John George Mogg, Major of the North Somerset Yeomany who would appear to have been living at The Manor House, Farrington Gurney.
In 1851 John Holden was a soldier at Piershill Barracks, Leith, Midlothian.
On the 1861 census he is shown as a volunteer sergeant with what could be the North Somerset Yeomany and was a lot older than Sarah.
