Francis Holburne inherited the family title from his cousin Sir Alexander Holburn, 3rd Baronet, in 1772.[1] In 1786 he went on to marry married Alicia Brayne (1766-1829) and they lived in Lower Sketty near Swansea. They moved to Bath in 1801 in Lansdown Crescent, where their family connection to the Lascelles would have been socially important.[2]

He would have three daughters, Alicia, Catherine and Mary, and two sons, Francis who would later fight and die in the Battle of Bayonne in 1814,[3] and William,[4] who would later be known for his collections housed in the Holburn Museum.[5]
