Ok Thanks have sent it.

Thanks a million it came through..

Ok how about if you can make out the name of the witness to the marriage it looks like James O???????

I am really pleased about this.

Thank you everybody who has helped me i am now sure that The thomas Holmes and Mary Burton are me ancestors. and that it was there marriage cert. What would I do without you all.

Cheers
Ziggy.

Hi again,

When I looked at that marriage cert I decided the witness could well be James Odonell (now that is what you would REALLY call bad writing !!) The other witness is on other certs so I think he was either an 'official' or a paid witness.

I did look on 1841 for James Odonell and there are a few who fit but nothing to help us connect.

OK thanks for all that. This research really does take one over don't you think.

Cheers

Ziggy

HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME. PLEASE

I have just discovered that I have made one masive blunder.

I have been following the wrong holmes family . So I have to start again going back from 1864.

I HAVE MY G.GRANDFATHER MARIIAGE CERT.
HIS NAME WAS ROBERT HOLMES
AGE ON MARRIAGE CERT.22
PROFESSION. CARRIAGE INSPECTOR
ADDRESS. 15 BROOK SREET, MANCHESTER
HIS FATHERS NAME. THOMAS HOLMES /PENSIONER

HIS WIFE'S NAME. ALICE FLETCHER
AGE 20
SPINSTER
ADDRESS HAMPPEOT??? (I am unable to make this word out ))
FATHERS NAME . JOSEPH FLETCHER./ BRICKLAYER

MARRIAGE DATE 20 MARCH 1864
ST.JOHNS CHURCH MANCHESTER/

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have plenty of info from 1841 to 1911.
__________________________________________________

I am now wondering if this is the Holmes's i should have been tracing back on. But I cannot find anything in the 1941 census matching up with them.. But They could have been in anywhere looking at where their children where bron

1851 Census.
Shed. No. 92 . 7, Mason Street, Salford, Regent Road.
Thomas Holmes 47. /Chelsea pensioner porter b. Ireland
Mary Holmes 38 .........b.Ireland
George Holmes 21. . Machine Maker..b.Scotland
John Holmes 19........Silk Warper...b.Ireland
Thomas Holmes .....13..Silk Warper ..b. Middlesex, Hounslow
Robert Holmes. 10 Scholar...b. Abergavenney. Wales
.

Can I appologise to all the people who helped me researching the original Holmes's Family. I am So Sorry For This Blunder.

regards

Jean Ziggy

1851 census definitely match up with my info. The Robert Holmes born in Abergavenny was my g grandfather. So I am now on the right path again.

Thanks to everybody who is so willing to help us all
Cheers

I know just how you feel Ziggy. I did it with not 1 but 2 great grandparents. Thankfully both are now on track.
