I have HOLMES in Ibstock about this time. One is a John born c. 1849 who was 2 in 1851 census - I have lost him after that. He is on a side branch, not in my direct line.

Geraldine, Thanks for the info, he does not appear to be linked to my lot and if the John I originally mentioned has his age stated correctly on the MI then yours was born 2 years too late. Thanks anyway. -----Original Message----- From: Geraldine Bancroft [mailto:geraldine.bancroft@btopenworld.com] Sent: Monday, 15 October 2007 23:26 PM To: 'Peter HOLMES'; 'LEICESTERSHIRE-PLUS'; 'HOLMES list' Subject: RE: [LEI] John HOLMES died 21/11/1862 - Buried Leicestershire (England) I have HOLMES in Ibstock about this time.
