John Holmes & Family
« on: Wednesday 10 March 10 06:05 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find the birth of George Holmes abt 1842-1844 in San Franacisco
United states, his parents were John Holmes & Mother Caroline (maiden name unknown) i believe John Holmes married abt 1830 but can not find any records,
George Holmes came to Australia would like to find his shipping records,
George Holmes married in N.S.W. Australia abt 1866 to a Margaret Wade
and Geroge was a well known sailor of small boats George Holmes died 1918 in Cargo N.S.W. Australia and on his death certificate states his parents were John Holmes & Caroline (unknown)
any help finding this family would be most appreciated
Thank You Angel24
