Ten years later, while serving in the [[British Army]] after the [[Peninsular War]], he met and married a [[French people|French]] woman and began a family near [[Bordeaux]], France, then moved his wife and eldest children back to Great Britain.<ref name="wdytyam">{{cite web|url=https://www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/episode/amanda-holden/|title=Amanda Holden| work=Who Do You Think You Are?

In 2010, Holden campaigned to keep a [[Sainsbury's]] supermarket out of [[Bishop's Waltham]].
