Cheshire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1861 census lookup - Holmes
« on: Tuesday 25 January 05 23:55 GMT (UK) »
Thank you Peter for your help so far.
If I can find out what happened to Alfred & Ellen Holmes between 1841 & their children's marriages in the 1860's that would be good news. I have previously done a posting in Staffordshire for 1851 census but the family could not be found.
Should mention that on the 1841 census where I found the family Alfred's occupation was a post boy & he & Ellen(nee Griffiths) are down as aged 25 giving me the approx birthdate of 1816. Ellen not born in Staffordshire. Their was also a Maria Holmes at the same address aged 12(b.1829) with blank in the relationship column, she was born in Staffordshire.
I have no idea how she fits into the family.
