Hi there!
I am a Canadian Holroyd - but my great grandfather came from Yorkshire. His parents were Alfred Holroyd and Hannah Sykes - so I am wondering about your great grandparents! My great grandfather was Arthur Holroyd - he had a sister who also made the trip to Canada - her name was Sarah Jane, but she went by "Jenny". I believe there were a couple of other brothers that remained in the UK. I have no info on my family beyond my gg grandparents names! Any further info would be appreciated. I think they all were from the Huddersfield area, but I am not sure of my UK geography - so maybe that is in your neighbourhood?
LOVE TO HEAR MORE!
Cheers,
Susan
