I believe Uncle Will (he would have been a "Holden") emigrated to the U.S. in the late 1800s or early 1900s, but he came back to Clayton. He may have been living there in 1911 when the census was taken; I don't know when Grandma married William Knight, but he was from the Clayton area and never traveled to the U.S. I wonder if the census record is slightly confused.
