Holden, Hartley families of Colne,Lancs.

I have information on a John Holden of England (likely Lancashire).He married a woman possibly named Sarah Booker (?) of Sussex, England.He had 9 children, 7 of which were definitely born in England. They then moved to Ontario, Canada.He died Nov. 13, 1844.He had a son named John as well (b.Oct 20, 1827, d.Oct 11, 1894) who was born in England and moved to Canada with his parents.He married Martha Small on Dec 2, 1852, and he may have married Martha Appleman later.John and Martha (Small) had 8 children, all who were born in Ontario, Canada.They did have a son named John as well.Hope there may be some connection here?!Please let me know any possible Holden family members in Lancashire, as this is where I have traced my family's genealogy back to.Thanks in advance and hope to hear from you soon..........Kelly
