Hi
I am looking for details of Robert HOLMES born about 1853-55 in a place called Oughterby in Cumberland. Please could anyone help with any info about him. Thank you

This is the closest match on the 1901 census:

Robert Holmes  Head  W  47  Engineman in Woollen  b. Ougherby, Cumberland

Ernest  "   Son   9    b. Warshole

Same family in 1891, although Robert's age varies a bit:

All born "Cumberland".
