Edward therefore came to have the name Holden by way of his grandmother, Mary who was the only child of Robert Holden (1676–1746). Robert Holden willed his estates to the second or later son of his daughter, Mary and her husband James Shuttleworth on the condition that this son and his male heirs adopt the arms and name of Holden. James and Mary Shuttleworth and their daughter are captured in a large painting by Joseph Wright of Derby.).〔(Joseph Wright of Derby ), Benedict Nicholson, vol 1, p97, 1968, accessed May 2011〕 Edward Anthony Holden's father was born Charles Edward Shuttleworth in 1750. He assumed the name of Holden and the accompanying estates in 1791. The estates were established by an earlier Robert Holden (great grandfather to Mary) who had purchased lands in Aston upon Trent and Weston upon Trent in 1648.〔(Aston on Trent ), Conservation Area Histories, South Derbyshire, accessed 12 September 2008〕 The family occupied the Hall in Weston and the Hall in Aston. The Holden family are thought to have come from Findern but Henry Holden settled in Aston in 1569. It was his son who started the estate and it was largely extended by Henry's grandson, Robert (father to Mary) who was a successful lawyer.〔 Edward Anthony Holden married Susan Drummond Moore (from Appleby Magna) on 22 November 1832〔(A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland Enjoying Territorial Possessions Or High Official Rank: But Uninvested with Heritable Honours ), John Burke, 1835〕 and began the expansion of the family's property in the following year. In 1839 he served as High Sheriff of Derbyshire taking over from his brother-in-law, George Moore, who had been Sheriff the year before. Holden's eldest son, Lieutenant Edward Shuttleworth Holden, joined the 23rd Welch Fusiliers and served at the Crimean War. He is considered to be Aston on Trent first military victim when he died of wounds received in the assault on the Redan at the Siege of Sevastopol on 9 September 1855. A window in Aston's church is the memorial to Holden's eighteen-year-old son〔(Aston at War ), Aston on Trent Local History Group, accessed 15 September 2008〕 as well as a memorial to him in old Harrovian.〔(Royal Garrison Church ), Memorials in Portsmouth, accessed 15 September 2008〕 Holden's second son, Charles Shuttleworth Holden b. 16 July 1838 d. 6 August 1872 was a Magistrate for the County of Derbyshire.
