General Notes
William was born 1789. This is not one of the two Williams born 1786. There are 3 or more William Holts from Turton.
15 June 1823, William Holt, Widower of Standish married Jane Marsh at St. Peter's, Bolton. There were no baptisms for a William and Jane before 1823, so it is likely Hannah is from a previous marriage to Mary (as indicated by Hannah’s baptism, showing mother Mary).
In 1841 William and Jane Holt (50 & 40) were at Dunscar Bar, Turton with Hannah (25), James (15), Jane (15) and Thomas (13)
In 1851, William and Jane (62 & 53) at Dunscar with Hannah (38) and Thomas (23)
