Roscommon / Re: Elizabeth Holmes, Bumlin, County Roscommon.

Hello, ii just came across your query
My great-great-grandfather was John Holmes of Gortoose Roscommon ( born 1835)
He had a brother Thomas b1831 ( possibly the witness at your g-g-grandparents wedding)
At John's wedding he had a William Holmes as witness, (and i have no idea who he was, possibly a cousin ?).
I was aware of a Michael Holmes also, but am not sure of relationship to John ( possibly then also a cousin)
I do know that John and Thomas's father was also a Thomas Holmes, but there appears to be no records remaining of his birth/death or other family
I hope some of this helps
