Mentions his parents as Adam Holley and Sarah Chenie. Cause of death listed as senile decay. Also mentions he was a farmer.

Lived with his parents in Albion Township, Peel County at the time of 1851/1852 census.

1881 census shows him and his family in Artemesia, Grey East, ON. It shows him as a C. Methodist Farmer, born in Ontario, of Dutch origins.

By the 1901 census, John and Hannah were living by themselves, but with 6 of their kids living together next door (Robert, Charles, Ida, Peter, Isaac & Samuel).

A family history written by his grandson Elmer Howard Holley has him being born in 1833.

From his nephew?s (Elmer Howard) family history:

I have tried to give you some idea of my Grandfathers family, but before I leave it I must say something of the characteristics of my grandfather, John Holley.As far back as I can remember him, I fancy seeing him sitting in his old home made chair at the head of the table, or jogging along the highway with his pony and cart, or possibly bringing in a wheel barrow of wood from the huge wood pile in the lane. He was a great horse trader. He consumed all makes of patent medicines and used all makes of liniment to cure the nary imaginary ailments from which he was supposed to be suffering. I well remember one remedy he had on hand always. He called it ile-a-rignum. This he used either on his pony or himself when he figured either one of them had a sore spot. He used to have the odd beef animal to take to market, and when he had this to so he often called on me to drive the pony while he led the beast with a rope to the village. The idea was that he could ride back with me in the cart. First trip he bought me a straw hat, also my dinner at the hotel. The second, and trip we had bad luck as the beast got out of control while I was leading it. The old gent got tired and asked me to lead the beast a while. Of course I tried, but it got away and ran back towards home a mile or so Granddad had then to lead it the extra distance. This sort of upset him and when we finally got to town he gave me ten cents to get something to eat. I never was asked to go again, and I was quite well pleased as that ten cents did not buy much food for a hungry boy.As I remarked, Granddad was quite a horse trader. Must tell you of a little deal he had with the Gypsies. One day as he was making his usual trip to the village with his pony and cart, he stopped by the gypsy tent by the roadside, and paying $2.00 cash made a trade for the one that he thought better (one horse, not one gypsy). The following morning he hitched his new pony to the cart to go again to the village, however, he had great difficulty with his new pony, and when he finally got him going he decided that he would again stop by the roadside tent and endeavour to get back his other pony. This was of course managed with the payment of $2.00, also a few apologies on the part of the Gypsy. Granddad with his on old pony drove happily on to the village. Now as the Gypsies make their living by their wits, they figured that Granddad would again call on his way home. They accordingly arranged to have a little bait ready. Seems they clipped the mane of the pony, docked its tail, trimmed its fetlocks and made him quite smart looking and also so different. Sure enough in came Granddad on his way home and seeing this new pony (as he thought) was quite anxious to trade, which he did with a two-dollar help. O.K. all?s well until the next day when he wanted to go to the village, and he had the same trouble as previously and had to get help form some of the boys to get going. Well with the help of another $2.00 he got back his original pony. I think that figures to $8.00 he was out in the different transactions. Such were the characteristics of my Grandfather John.

6000 Ida was not born yet at the time of the 1881 census. Lived with 5 of her brothers in the household next to her parents in 1901 census.

The Flesherton Advance newspaper Sep. 22, 1926 mentions that ?Mr. Sam Holley of Parry Sound is visiting at present with his sister, Mrs. Sam Croft.?

Feb. 13, 1908 Flesherton Advance mentions that her mother came to visit her in Toronto because she was ill.

Flesherton Advance Dec. 20, 1944 has her obituary:

?Word was received on Tuesday morning of the death of Mrs. Samuel Croft, in Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Toronto, early Tuesday morning. Prior to being moved to this hospital, she had been in the General Hospital for about a year, suffering from arthritis.

The late Mrs. Croft, formerly Edna Holley, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Holley was born on July 10, 1882 in Artemesia Township. She was united in marriage to Jos. Samuel Croft, who now survives her passing together with two sons, Pte. Harvey Croft of Camp Borden and Everett Croft of Flesherton. The late Mrs. Croft is also survived by four brothers: Charles, George, Issac and Samuel Holley. In religion she was Presbyterian. The late Mrs. Croft?s remains were brought from Toronto to Flesherton where the funeral will be held.

From his nephew?s (Elmer Howard) family history:

It must have been quite an adventure for a girl to be the only one in a family of nine boys, but such was the case with my Auntie Edna. First we must give you her full name, by which she was christened: Miss Ida Mary Matilda Edna Holley. She was the youngest of the family. Edna was a rather pretty girl of fairly slight build. She had beautiful large blue eyes, exceptionally long hair, a marvellous disposition and always a beautiful smile. Edna lived at home until her marriage, and was the mother of two boys. When quite a young person she was stricken with arthritis, she suffered quite badly for many years, finally passing away about 60 years of age. I had not seen her in many years and knew very little of her life and family. From web site of Curtis Boyle, Jan., 2011. 
HOLLEY, Ida Mary Matilda "Edna" (I1974)
