Date: Thu, 31 Dec 1998 10:14:30 EST Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit My Holmes line is also from Ireland, Limerick and Cork. I have no idea whether any of my Holmeses lived in Aghada, but the index to Griffiths' has James, Margaret, Matthew, and Thomas as householders in the townland and parish of Aghada. Perhaps you already have this information. My ancestor is Edward Holmes, a mason, son of John Holmes, a gardener, who married Mary O'Gorman in Kilmurry Parish, County Limerick, in 1849. There were at least two surviving children, Michael J, who married Mary Ann O'Shea in StMary's Cathedral, Cork City, 1871. He left for Brooklyn shortly thereafter and died in Utica, NY, in 1879, leaving two children, Edward and Catherine, and another child, John, born in Ireland in 1871, who apparently never came to the US. The second child of Edward and Mary Holmes, Catherine, married John Pryor in Chicago, but had no children. If any of this sounds at all familiar, I'd be delighted to share information with you.
