Born in Belfast on 14 Feb 1836 to John Holden and Letitia Maguire. He passed away on 1923 in Sudburn, England. <br /><br />One of the oldest maritime photographs in the Museum's collections was taken c.1870 by Dr John Sinclair Holden, a general practitioner who lived in Glenarm, Co Antrim from 1867 to 1872. As a keen amateur photographer he made an early and important visual record of maritime life in his locality. This photograph is a self-portrait of Dr Holden standing in his own gaff-rigged sailing boat, which he humorously called The Emetic [Ulster Folk and Transport Museum]<br /><br />May have also worked in Sudbury (if same J. Sinclair Holden) and seems to have been enthusiastic in amateur dramatics<br />The presentation was made by Dr. J. Sinclair Holden, the chairman of the Nursing Association Committee, at his residence,<br />East House. [1920 British Journal of Nursing]<br /><br />Looking for ancestors and descendants of John Sinclair Holden, who was a doctor in Glenarm, near Belfast in the 1860's and then later, I think, practised in London - based on signed photo. He was a cousin of my great-grandfather James Holden of Whitby, Canada. The Doctor's siblings included 2 brothers: William, a minister of the Church of England near London; Henry or Harry, likewise in Ballymunez; and 4 sisters, names unknown, one of whom married a McGowan in Glenarm. Their father was Uncle John to my James, living in Hollywood, near Belfast, in 1869.<br /><br />Dr. John's first marriage to Mary Andrewes of Sudbury (she died relatively young).<br /><br />Marjorie Joan Holden and her sister Agnes Joyce were the children of a 2nd marriage of Dr. John Sinclair Holden to Agnes Sikes in Sudbury<br />
