Holdsworth, Frederick John Cropper, Capt.

British, born 1886

Biography

The third son of Arthur Frederick [d. 1919] and Florence Anne (Cropper)[d. 1920] Holdsworth of Widdicombe, Devonshire, Capt. Frederick Holdsworth was educated at Wellington College, and served in WWI with the late Devonshire Regiment. On 20 May 1914, he married Mary Wilmot Arundell; they had a very large family of six sons (one set of twins) and three daughters. Holdsworth inherited the family estate at Widdicombe--as his eldest brother was killed in WWI, and the second-born son had died as a child in 1882--but sold it in 1921. He held the post of Mayor of Totnes from 1934-36, acted as Deputy Lieutenant (1936) and Justice of the Peace in Devon, and was Lay Rector of Okehampton and Stokenham.
