A newcomer to this list, I am interested in any information regarding Edward HOLMES, son of John Holmes, born around 1820, and died before 1870. He married Mary O'Gorman in Kilmurry, Church of Ireland, Parish Church, 8 Nov 1849. He was the father of at least two children, Michael J (1851-1879) and Catherine (1854-1939) born in County Limerick. I have no record of Edward's birth or death, but suspect he was native of Limerick, Tipperary or Cork, where his son, Michael, married Mary O'Shea in 1871 and grandson, John, was born that same year. His widow, Mary O'Gorman, emigrated to the US in 1866. She married John Holland and they ran a laundry in Chicago, IL. Any information relating to this family would be very much appreciated. Many thanks, SBT
