if so, where and when was that

This marriage may account for the births to a Thomas and Mary Holgate in Long Preston, so can probably rule those out?

Thomas Holgate
mentioned in the record of Thomas Holgate and Mary Geldard
Name Thomas Holgate
Spouse's Name Mary Geldard
Event Date 30 Dec 1776
Event Place Long Preston,York,England


and the Gisburn births to a Thomas Holgate appear to start in 1760

You say that the Holgate family are your ancestors. So what is the name of the child from whom you descend?

Pamela

My Great Grandfather was Henry Holgate born 1859 and Annie Selina Knott
Thank you

You may know what you're talking about but we're trying to help and don't.

How are you connecting Holgate and Forster.

You say Grandfather Henry Holgate b 1859 and then mention Annie Selina Knott - his wife, his mother??

Trees on Ancestry show your Henry's parents as John Holgate (1833-1907) & Emma Ives and John's parents as John Holgate (1810-1872) & Mary J. Wright but that's as far back as hey go.
I still don't understand how you got back to Thomas born 1737.

wouldn't it be a laugh of your Holgate's were the same as the Archbishop (of York) Holgate who founded Archbishop Holgate's Grammar School in York..affectionately known as "Archie's"by its students including me....many many moons ago.....
If ever you get back far enough you might well find Archbishop ROBERT HOLGATE and his wife BARBARA WENTWORTH early 1500's were ancestors..its not that common a name

Sorry, Pam, but you can’t say that Thomas Holgate is your ancestor if you don’t have info about his children

It may well be that he is - but you need to do a lot of research to prove it.
