Mary Isabella HOLMES - QLD
« on: Tuesday 30 June 09 07:47 UTC (UK) »

Hi,

I'm currently going through the brick wall phase on this family line I'm having the hardest time to track down details for Parents of a Mary Isabella Holmes born in QLD born in 1868.

Her parents Names are

James Albert Holmes & Catherine Davis

Haven't been able to find death records in the following states NSW & QLD for them both or find a Marriage Certificate in QLD the above names are all I know besides James was a Painter.

If any one can help that would be great

Cheers

Scott

Hi Regross,

Sounds possible as one of the other daughters Annie Elizabeth Holmes married a man who came from Victoria,

Cheers

I know that this is clutching at straws, but if James died early on his wife could have remarried. There is a Catherine marrying a Robertson. There is then a death for a Catherine Robertson with mother Isabella and father Thomas Hill.

Hi J,

I think you may have solved the mystery but may have added more illusion to the  mystery, as I can't find immigration records or a marriage for James Albert Holmes & Catherine Davis,

Thanks I hadn't thought of him dying early explains why there are no more children born after 1876 Smiley

Cheers

Qld Certificates do contain a lot of information

If  you  were able to  purchase  the birth certificate of Catherine Agnes  Holmes born in 1875 to James Albert Holmes and Catherine Davies. She died at 1 month of age

you  should get  where and when  the parents were born an also married

Hi Jenn,

No I have all the info on her, I thought by finding her family I'd find more information on her parents but to no avail Sad

Good thought though

If you  got  the marriage certificate, did it note if  the parents were deceased?
