Hello: Looking for above surnames in Ramsgate. Homans/Holloway born about 1819/20, in Kent area. Have no info who his parents were etc. He came to Nova Scotia between 1845 -1847 when he purchased 100 acres of land in the small community of Clam Harbour, N.S. He went by first names of John "Charles". He died in 1899 and buried in Clam Harbour. Charles, the given name he picked to be called by. He married Janet Robson, they had 6 sons and 3 dau who died couple months after their birth, names of the girls were Elizabeth, Catherine and Clarissa & were buried on the property. The six boys were named John Bruce, James, William Charles, Ebenezer, Stephen Henry (my Granfather), Edwin Isaac. He arrived with money in his pocket, purchased the land, built Lobster and Clam factory plus General Store, the store survived until 1972. I have a couple of pictures which could be Homans/Holloway. I understand that others said he changed his name. I would appreciate any info, have been on this search for over 40 years. Thanks, Jacquie Homans Duncan
