Bentworth and Lasham are small Hampshire villages about three miles apart and some three miles from Alton, the nearest big centre. The life was harsh and people died of malnutrition in this area. Riots also broke out against the harsh social conditions. There seems little doubt that John Holdaway, an agricultural labourer in Lasham, was motivated to leave Hampshire by the propsect of a better life in far away New Zealand. John and Mary lived at Pepper Box Cottage, Lasham, Hampshire before they left England.

In some papers of the New Zealand Company held in London, on a document, the notation is included for the Holdaway, Eyles and Cresswell families: "Will all go together or not at all".

John Holdaway and Thomas Cresswell left England on 27 April 1841 on the 'Whitby', leaving their wives and families behind.

After his wife Mary died, he was left with 4 young children. He asked the newly widowed Amelia Cresswell to be his housekeeper, which she refused. Soon asfter he asked Amelia to marry him and she consented.
