I am once again attempting to tackle my HOLMES side [and failing miserably!]
I know that Edward HOLMES was born 14th July 1810 and baptised in Smisby, Derbyshire s/o Joseph & Mary HOLMES
there is also a Ann HOLMES born 9th March 1808 @ Smisby, Derbyshire d/o Joseph & Mary HOLMES
what I can't find are anymore children to this set of parents, I think I have Mary in the 1841 census, with son Edward and Harriet his wife.
I believe I have identified three deaths which could possibly be Ann, Mary and Joseph, they seemed to have moved back over the border into Leicestershire and ended up in the Breedon parish which encompassed Worthington, which is nearby to Newbold/Lount/Whitwick, [where the Holmes' eventually settled/died]
I am totally flummoxed as I can't even pinpoint a Marriage for Joseph & Mary, though I have an idea that Mary came from Worthington, [I have found a 1851 census that could be her, i'll see if I can find the relevant ones]
any help/ideas suggestions would be most gratefully received, ta.
