Hi Brett,
Sorry I haven't replied earlier but I changed my email address and didn't get the notification.
It is a nice co-incidence that your family had the 'Barrel' and were Holmes'.
The publicans at The Barrel were not my direct ancestors but were related - cousins I think. There is a line of publicans in my family -my great grandfather, Horatio Thomas Holmes had the Moulders Arms and the Dog and Duck in Beverley. My Grandfather, his son, named after his paternal grandfather Joseph, was a farrier.
I'm not aware of any 'Ash' connections to the Holmes' but I must admit that I have rather let my family history research slide.
I did attach a photograph I have of a wedding party, taken outside The Barrel, which shows my GGGrandfather Joseph Holmes, his wife Mary Teal and Horatio Thomas as a boy, to an earlier post. I hope that you were able to open it.
Regards, Jane
