Alison,
As you most probably know, George Holman was mayor of Lewes, 1898-1901 and 1907-1911. If you search www.a2a.org.uk, it shows that there is quite a bit of information (including photos and newspaper clippings collected by George Holman) that have been deposited at ESRO. I'm assuming that you have all of the family history information related to George Holman (if not, I can point you in the right direction). One other interesting fact that I came across regarding George was that hewas appointed Manager and Secretary of the Sussex Express newspaper in 1888 at a salary of £200 per annum.

Regards

Mark

I did some research into the the Sussex Holmans, and in the course of it acquired a coloured illustration of the large painting of George Holman that hangs in Lewes council chambers.  If it is of interest to you, send me a PM with your e-mail address and I will scan and send you a copy

Incidentally, my Holmans turned out to be Kentish ones, so he was never a relative.

sorry just seen your reply, l know its some time ago, but do you still have the picture of george holman?

Just wondered if any of your Holmans are from Ardingly. If they are I would be most interested to know which ones. thanks

Hi Alison
"Chung" below was advised to send me a PM through Rootschat and I then sent a copy of the picture to him/her.  If you do likewise, I can also send a duplicate to you.

Managed to snatch your e-mail address before it was quite rightly deleated.
(you should have sent a PM = Privatel Message)
Have sent a photo of George and supporting text, but as I write from abroad, my responses also have parts in a foreign language addreses which are occasionally thought to be spam and end up in the virus vault.  If you have received nothing, check your vault out.
