BARBARA Leverentz wants to contact relations of her grandfather, Arthur Holt. She writes: his parents were Eliza and Frank Holt of 14 Openshaw Fold Road, Bury.

Grandad was born at 36 Raglan Street, Wardle in 1888. He was the eldest of nine (Arthur, David, Harry, Herbert, James, Frank, May, Alice and Sarah.)

Sarah lived in Openshaw Fold Road after her parents died in 1926 and had a son George. She was a nurse at a Greenmount nursing home.

James had a daughter Nellie. David may have gone to Australia. Frank may have died in infancy.

Grandad, David and Harry were all in the Royal Artillery and Herbert was in the navy.

Grandad finally settled in Guildford, Surrey, married Florence and had two children, Robert and Dorothy (Ms Leverentz's mother).

Grandad left behind many untitled photos, an old family tree and documents about his mother's family, the Bradshaws.

Ms Leverentz is on 01204 491548.
