Hi,
I've found the following submitted entries on IGI and am hoping someone can check whether they are correct.
Hedley Holmes marr Mary Bailey 25 Dec 1733 St John the Baptist.
William Holmes marr Mary Munton 2 Apr 1759 St John the Baptist
William Holmes marr Mary Freer 4 May 1756. Cathedral.
Also any details of any children of the above couples. Thanks.
Tempsford.

I had a quick look at the parish records when I was at the library,
Hedley Holmes married Mary Bailey 25th Dec 1733 at St John's the Baptist.
I couldn't find entries for the other 2 but as I said it was a quick look.
I am hoping to spend a day there soon fingers crossed, if and when I go I will have a thorough look, I will also have a look for children.
Are the Holmes family you are looking for related in any way to Rushden or Desborough Northamptonshire?

Hi,
Thank you for the information. Its great to verify Hedley Holmes marriage.
My research into the Holmes family so far seems to lead to Ely/Stretham. My 5x gt grandfather was called Headley Holmes although he was born in Woburn but I think his father William was Hedleys son and the only Hedley I can find was baptised in 1709 in Stretham the son of Richard Holmes and Margaret Headley, which explains the unusual christian name! I think this is the Hedley married in Peterborough.
Its kind of you to look for further info, I appreciate it. Thanks.
Tempsford.

I'm researching the Haynes family. Samuel Haynes, a tailor, married an Elizabeth Holmes in London Piccadilly 12 July 1797. They lived in Ely and had 12 children there, one of whom was Keziah (b. 1816).
I've just found an 1851 census record for Keziah (in Alms House no. 9 in Ely) which shows she was living there with her mother Elizabeth, who is recorded as being a (former) schoolmistress.
It gives Elizabeth's age as 81 (i.e. born c. 1770) and, although poorly written in the census record, it seems to give her place of birth as 'Northants Peterborough'.
Google found your post to this list, recording a Holmes family in Peterborough and suggesting a link to Ely.
Is my G5 grandmother Elizabeth (Holmes) Haynes that link?

Just to add to the strength of the Holmes connection (to Peterborough?):
Samuel and Elizabeth Haynes (nee. Holmes) named two of their children:
Josiah Holmes Haynes (b. 1798)
and
William Holmes Haynes (b. 1809)
suggesting a strong bond with / debt to the Holmes family.

Hi,
I'm afraid I don't really know about the Peterborough Holmes yet.
My 5x gt grandfather Headley Holmes was born in Woburn to William and Mary. William wasn't born in Woburn but its possible he came from Peterborough but I just don't know at the moment.
I can't find Headley's marriage to Ann, although my 4x gt grandmother Maria was born in Kingston upon Thames but after that the family settled in Ely.

I managed to visit the archives office at the Peterborough Library, I will be going back next week so if there is anything else you wanted me to look up please let me know.
Marriages I have found so far; ( from a printed log not fiche film,so the fathers name isn't on the entry) All at St John's the Baptist church Peterborough.
As I said before Hedley married Mary Bailey 25th dec 1733.
William Holmes and Mary Munton 2nd april 1759, curator was John Hepworth, witness was William White.
Ashley Holmes married Mary Deacons 17th march 1795.
John Banister married Mary Holmes 12 march 1755.
William Holmes married Elizabeth Hunt 26th Sept 1764.
John Cooper married Mary Holmes 23 sept 1771, David Holmes present.
William Holmes married Ann Thompson 13 october 1771.
David Holmes (widower) married Ann Skinner (widow) 20th october 1771.
Benjamin Neall married Sarah Holmes 13 nov 1775.
I do have 3 more volumes to look through plus the baptism and death volumes.
As for William Holmes and Mary Freer,
I will have to visit the Dean's Chapter House to see the records for the Cathedral.
Andrea.

Hi Andrea,
Many thanks for the information. The marriage between William Holmes and Mary Munton looks very promising.
The same for Hedley.
I managed to find a certificate of settlement for a William from Peterborough to Woburn then To Ely so your info is very helpful.
I would be interested if William and Mary had any children in Peterborough before they moved to Woburn. Their first child there was baptised in 1764.

Been to the library and from the parish record books I have gone from 03/09/1810 - 17th nov 1725. I have found nearly 100 Holmes births and a few more marriages. (I will pm all the findings to you). If you want me to look further back next time I go I can.
But here are the Hedley and William's childrens baptisms and in some cases burial. (as there were 2 William and Mary's obviously giving birth around the same time I am unsure which child has which William and Mary as parents).
30th sept 1734 Elizabeth daug of Hetley and Mary (I assumed this was Hedley)
22 feb 1741/42 Elizabeth daug of Heatley and Mary.
1oct 1736 John son of Hetley and Mary.
22nd aug 1738 William son of Hedley and Mary.
26th dec 1739 Mary daug of Hedley and Mary.
Found a burial date for Hetley Holmes 30th July 1744. There was no husband of or father of next to his name. But after this date there are no other entries for baptisms for children of Hedley and Mary.
Children baptized with William and Mary as parents.
8th oct 1758 John Holmes,
6th jan 1760 Antony Ashley Holmes,
16 march 1760 Alice Holmes.
21 jan 1761 William Holmes,
10 oct 1762 William Homes,
20 sept 1764 Mary Holmes,
1 dec 1765 Rose Holmes,
30th aug 1767 William Holmes,
14th may 1769 William,
14 aug 1774 Ann,
2 july 1774 Elizabeth,
14 feb 1777 David,
26 april 1778 David,
17 jan 1779 Ann.
Other marriages found;
William Holmes and Ann Ashly 17 nov 1725 (could be grandmother to Anthony Ashley Holmes born 1760).
Solomon Holmes and Elizabeth Sutton, 25 jan 1743/4
John Holmes and Susannah Wakefield 5th jan 1750,
Thomas Holmes and Mary Wing 7th june 1750,
Rose Holmes and Samuel Sutton 12 aug 1752,
David Holmes and Mary Stanton 23 aug 1753.
I have found baptisms for childre of all of these Holmes parents. (except Rose).
I can do the deaths as well if you wanted them next time I go. The PM may take a while to compose. Hope this helps,
Andrea.

Have fun going through the info.
Andrea.
