Hi All Frederick Montague Seymour Holmes from London married Christina Neilson from Stirling in Collingwood in 1858. No record of that marriage has ever been found but the date has been passed down in the family and recorded on the birth certificates of the only 2 children they registered. Here are the spouses of that first generation. William (Little Billy) GREEN married Laura HOLMES George WOODALL married Adela HOLMES Annie Cameron Barbara McDONALD married Frederick HOLMES Isabella MCDONALD, her sister, married Leslie HOLMES Roderick MCSWAIN married Christina HOLMES Paul WILSON married Marion HOLMES (They later went on to become my grandparents.) Emily TILLEY married Frank HOLMES Isabella MCLEOD married Reginald Stephen HOLMES Florence HOLMES had a couple of illegits and then disappeared off the face of the earth. I have the parents of all of these spouses if anyone has a connection. The family started off at Rosebrook Station in the Grampians, then moved to Rocklands, Glenelg, and retired finally to Hochkirch, now Tarrington. Isabella and Annie Cameron's sister Julia MCDONALD married Alfred WALKER, and in the next generation three HOLMES girls married WALKERS in that family. Any connections out there?
