Hope someone can help. Ive built a fairly solid tree but am struggling with one of my Great Grandmothers and her father and beyond.
My Grandmother was Nellie Havenhand born 4/12 1889 Ecclesall Bierlow Sheffield. I believe her mother was Annie Elizabeth Holmes, born Liverpool about 1865/6, daughter of James Holmes of Alfred St Wavertree in the 1871 census. Annie Elizabeth married William Henry Havenhand in 1888 Sheffield.
First problem is I cannot find a birth for Annie Elizabeth Holmes who acc to census was born in Liverpool.
Secondly, acc to 1871 census her fatherJames Holmes was born Ecclesfield Sheffield, but in the 1881 census, which appears to be the same family, its Manchester(I think incorrectly transcribed as nr Chester). There is a James Holmes in the 1841 census for Ecclesfield with the right age, father Joseph. However, James remarried a Jane Wood Dalmer in Leeds 10/11/1879 and there his father is John.
Some help would be much appreciated!
