Holmes of Yorkshire?
« on: Monday 27 March 17 07:48 BST (UK) »
In 1851 there was a census of four Holmes' living in a workhouse together. Martha, William, Solomon, and Ann. I know Ann died at the age of four, Solomon moved to America, and I think I've connected Martha to a William Morcambe. In several of the census's lists (1871 and 1881) has a Lucy Holmes living with them and lists Martha and William as her parents. I'm wondering if this might be William's daughter (he was born in 1843 and about 20) and living with them after something might have happened to him. Or if she is Martha's daughter before she married. They've all been living in the Doncaster area all this time too.

I'm wondering if anyone is able to look up a baptism in this possible area for me? FreeReg doesn't list anything for a 1863 or 1864 birth, but before I buy a possible record could someone possibly check?

Thank you so much!

From the new GRO feature - Lucy's mother's maiden name was Reynolds - the registration given by "Sandra"

Oh awesome thanks! For some reason I had a hard time getting on the GRO today, was the father list as William then?

That's all the information it gives - would mean buying the certificate.

The new feature only gives the additional information of mother's maiden name.

I've had a look on FindMyPast for a possible baptism for Lucy, but the only one in Doncaster is in 1865 had her parents as Robert and Sarah of Bridge Street, Doncaster - Robert is a Railway Guard.

Yea that's the same issue I've been having on my ancestry for some reason. They probably didn't get married to find the marriage record. If it's Martha's daughter, she got married to someone else the next year. Then if it's William's daughter, anything could have happened to him.

Thank you all for looking! It's helpful.
