Holmes family from Keighley
« on: Wednesday 24 February 21 02:04 GMT (UK) »
I am interested in learning more about my Holmes roots that are from the Keighley area, interested in learning about the Claphams of Keighley that married into the Holmes family (John Holmes 1686-1728) and Mary Clapham (1685-1726). I have taken a DNA test with Ancestry and My Heritage, also have uploaded to Gedmatch..XX6041674

Hiya
do you know a David Chudleigh ??
he has this familytree - it goes back 3  more generations with the Clapham family to a Eliae Clapham born 1606 - that's if the info is correct

https://gw.geneanet.org/dchudleigh?n=clapham&oc=&p=mary

actually goes back to 1575 with the Alice Wood family - Alice Wood married Thomas Clapham 2nd August 1640 in Pately Bridge ,Yorkshire - looks to be quite a bit of info for you   :)
