You have checked the 35 people on here who have a Pearl Holmes in their tree? If not go to the top of this page and click on the search trees option.

I am searching for my mother's side of the family, the Holmes.
Some of the relative that I am looking for may still be alive, but we have lost touch with them. Any ideas about ways to trace living relatives? Most of the resources available are more aimed at older ancestors, but I need to find my immediate relative before I can do that!

They are/ were: Leslie Patrick Holmes, his sister Pearl, brother Desmond, and father Joseph, or Ireland, and later London and Birmingham.

Many thanks!
