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.
Chung 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.
Really odd .. I was about to list a Coronation cup on Ebay and was doing some research on it, and it Googled roots chat. If anyone is interested its a King George v & Mary June 22nd 1911 coronation cup.. on the reverse is the coat of arms of the borough of Lewes and underneath is the name Holman. Mayor. I don't mean to use the site to advertise , just if its of interest to anyone.
George Holman was my wifes grandfather 4 times removed,would it be possable for you to e mail a photo of the coronation cup for me to show the family.
Many thanks chung Moderator Comment: email address removed to prevent spam and other abuses. Please use secure PM (personal message) system to share email addresses and other personal information. Thank you.

Hi I,ve attached two photos, hopefully correctly!! As I said It was coincidence that I was researching the cup prior to listing on Ebay when I found your thread. I don't know wether I should enclose the Ebay link, as it may not be ethical to do so. funny thing is, I used to live in Sussex in the sixties and still have a fondness for it. Lewes is actually a lovely old town with really interesting history. I spent many happy times there, before returning to Northern Ireland.
Hi I'm glad the photos were of interest. Yes it was sold on Ebay about 2 weeks ago for about £5 ( a fortune!!) to a person in Derbyshire although their was an initial bid from someone in Lewes and I had hoped it would go there, its home so to speak. Anyway good luck on your research.
Hi Chung, l dont know how to contact you other then by here, l dont know how to pm? you to send you my email address, l have information of the Holmans dating back to Geoffrey Holman born 1510 in Horsted Keynes, l still cnt get a picture of George that was sent to you/me. George is not my direct line he is a brother , but l collect iformation on ll families where l can, can you contact me again and tell me what a pm is? Alison
