Just a quick tip - stick an H on the front as a variant when searching for a surname beginning with A if all else has failed. One of my Abbotts married under the name of Habbott and I've just found a possible remarriage for an Allison under Hallison. (Both from Lancashire, don't think its a quirk of that accent but a general Victorian one)
I suppose it might work the other way round too - Olden instead of Holden? The H at the beginning of my own surname has been dropped a couple of times on items through the post.
