HOLMES, JOHN CLARK 1844 S Quarter in WISBECH UNION Volume 14 Page 36
HOLMES, RICHARD CLARK 1842 D Quarter in BEVERLEY Volume 23 Page 5
Can't spot Thomas's birth yet
Can't see a marriage either. Where was ann born?, and the eldest known child?

The best fit marriage I can see is:
March qtr 1839
Loughborough Registration District vol 15, page 135
Holmes, Williams
+ and, on the same page +
Clarke, ann
Due to the rounding of ages on the 1841 census, William's age would probably be shown as 20?
(Adult ages were rounded down to a multiple of 5 years)

To eliminate or otherwise:
29 January 1839 - Dishley
William Holmes, full age, bachelor, Publican. Father: Thomas, Farmer
Ann Clarke, full age, spinster, Servant. Father: Joseph, Farmer
Witnesses: John Adcock Clarke, Thomas Craswell

You could try the Sheffield Indexers website. They found a census record for me that I'd been tearing my hair out for about 10 years!

1851 - Ann said to be born Cherry Burton, Yorkshire (Genuki says 3 miles NW of Beverley), 3 older children born Beverley, Margery born Hull Bridge 1.5 miles NE of Beverley).

For Thomas's birth there is a Thomas Holmes, born 1939 hull (subdistrict Sutton) on Yorkshire BMD
which I can't see on the GRO with-maiden-name indexes.
