Hello and welcome to rootschat Sam.
One thing that you need to know is that the 1851 census for the whole of the Dunmow Registration District is missing!
Do you have the family in the 1861 census and have you traced a marriage for David's parents?

David Holmes married Sarah Ann Bental in Dunmow Q4 1867 Vol: 4a, Page 737
Do you have a birth certificate for David Holmes ? This should give his mother's maiden name. According to the IGI, there was a marriage between a William Holmes and a Sarah Archer in Great Waltham on 21 July 1812, but this is a submitted record, which is not totally reliable.

In 1861 he is living in Felsted with his widowed mother Sarah and his siblings. His mother aged 51 gives her PoB as Yeldham.
Will post full details if you do not have them.

Sorry Nick
I see you have added to your reply!
1812 would be a bit early to fit in with the family in 1841. Think we need a marriage about 1830 but unfortunately the IGI is not good for Essex.

William and Sarah were my Great Great Uncle and Aunt. I live in Canada but was in Felstead this year doing some family research. I may be able to help with some names and dates.

Hi . I live in the small hamlet of Bethany, Ontario which is near Peterborough about 75 miles northeast of Toronto. Where did you visit in Canada? I began working on my tree about 2 years ago using Ancestry UK. I see you have filed your tree on the site. I have not as I was waiting until I had filled all the blanks. I am a generation older than you. My 2nd Great Grandfather Henry Holmes 1822-1864 was Williams younger brother. Their parents are Jonathan 1773- and Mary 1779-1859 both from Felstead they had 7 children. I was born in Wales lived in London and emigrated to Canada as a young boy. I spent 5 weeks in the UK this past April. Spent a day at the Essex records office where I viewed the parish records which gave me some information but nothing from the 18th century that I could decipher. I stayed at a ca 1541 B&B next to Pond Park Brook farm , Felstead where our family resided in 1841. I will be happy to share my findings with you. You can contact me direct at my e-mail
