Samuel Holmes b1789 Ellastone

[suelesterry]

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help or perhaps make suggestions.
Samuel Holmes born 1879 in Ellastone to Rowland Holmes and Jane Whieldon could be the brother of my 4 x great grandfather John Holmes b abt 1795. Descendants have a DNA match. I am trying to prove who John's parents were
The problem is that Samuel appears to have married at the age of 15 to Hannah Woodings in 1804 in Hanbury Staffs. Is there a possibility this could have happened? If not then who was the Samuel Holmes that married in 1804.
Thanks in advance for any help
Sue

There is a John Holmes son of Rowland & Jane baptised at Ellastone 5th March 1797.

Samuel to the same parents was baptised 15th February 1789.

Why do you think that the 1804 marriage is that Samuel.

Have you considered this marriage, one of the witnesses was a Joseph Holmes
Samuel Holmes
Catherine Arnold
Checkley - St Mary & All Saints
Marriage    29 Apr 1813

Hi Rosie
Thanks for your reply. The reason I was looking at the 1804 marriage is, this is the one a fellow researcher who matched DNA, had in their tree and who, supposedly descended from Samuel and Hannah's son John Holmes 1809-1885.
 Maybe both their ancestor Samuel who married Hannah Woodings and my 4 x great grandfather born 1795-1797 were not children of Rowland and Hannah.
My John Holmes married Mary Critchlow in 1820
Thanks for trying to help
