Hi everyone  - I already know liverbird from ancestry.com (Hi Jean!) . Just to join my voice in as a member of this extended family through my mum's side of the family.  Caroline Bradley and Samuel Blakeman are my great, great, great grandparents. My line is through their daughter Elizabeth and Charles Holmes, their second son William was my great grandad.
It's been lovely reading this post although I can't add any more than you really clever people have already researched!

Hi again Plevna, nice to hear from you, hope your tree is blossoming.
I've recently discovered the Toxteth Park grave of Charles Holmes & Elizabeth (Blakeman) Holmes also holds the remains of Samuel Holmes aged 52 d1929. Lucy Jones nee Holmes aged 23 d1918 & her son John Frederick aged 13mths d1918. Also Lucy May Larkey aged 5yrs d1918. What a tough year 1918 was for the family. :'(

Best Wishes to all members.
Jean

Hi
Yes that was a rough year-- also the Year of the Spanish flu.

Yes you're right....I was reliably informed Lucy Jones nee Holmes fell victim to the flu bug in 1918.

I saw that at the other place, great sleuthing! I'm going to have a look at it next time I'm up there. Is there a headstone do you know? There doeasn't seem to be ones for a lot of my family in Liverpool on the other side. Too expensive I suppose.
The flu must've been a terrible time. Lucy's poor husband losing her and the baby too

No gravestone... the plot is close by a lovely old tree.

Frederick Holmes & his wife Martha Annie Ellis are together in Section 14 Grave 743....I couldn't find a stone for them but I may have overlooked it, it started bucketting down when I was there. Let me know if you have more success and be sure to choose a fine day!
