Hi Marion, In your e-mail to Julie, you mention Melrose and HOLMES, and I am wondering if you can assist me in filling in some blanks, per the attached; name; Catherine Melrose HOME (my paternal g'mother) born: 1885(7)-Jan-4, Sunderland, Co. Durham or Melrose, Scotland, which Melrose I am not sure, since there are 2, it maybe the one near the Scotland/England border, died; 1952-Jun-8 Sunderland. married; 1911-Feb-11 ((Sunderland)to James Campbell, master house painter) they had 2 sons (Alfred & Alexander Home (my father)) she had 5 sisters ( Alice, Ethel, Liz, Maggie and Mary) I think she lived (if not all, most) in Sunderland, Durham. Because one of her names is Melrose, she may have come from Melrose or maybe that is a family name (which I believe there is). That's the trouble with just starting, you have very little info.. Thanks.
