I am researching after a request by my uncle to trace the family of his father Richard HOLDEN born 1887 in Margate who married Maud Jane DORAN born Jan 1894 in Kilburn, Middlesex.  I have the parents of Richard as Richard HOLDEN born 1861 in Ward, Kent and Elizabeth Jane ????? born 1863 in Margate and Maud's parents as George William DORAN born 1861 and Mary A ???? born 1864 in Marylebone, Middlesex.  Any details about the DORAN family would also be welcome.  Thank you.
