Thanks for that, its not him but his son and family, i must have mis-read your post i thought the 35 yr old Edward was in the Portsmouth area, never mind thanks very much for your help.

sorry Fred, I probably wasn't very clear in my post 

The Edward holmes that I found (his son) was the only one in the whole country born in Norwich
