Find Ancestors

Sorry rootgatherer, just deleted as I saw the other Nathan too........... strange though that he added Holmes as his middle name. Found them in 1901, still with Amelia.

I think that Nathan Elmer is Nathan Holmes's cousin. He is the son of William and Mary who appear on the 1851 census living with Nathan Holmes grandparents, Thomas and Mary Ann Holmes.

No problem Dee especially as he was part of the "Holmes" tribe!

Hi Everyone

Sorry to be a continued nuisance however, I am now slightly bewildered/confused from all the info that you have all gratefully given.

However, an update. I can now confirm the following as true

Robert Shadrack Holmes b.1901 Gt Waldingfield - My Grandfather
Alice Holmes definitely was slightly older then the above and was his sister (confirmed by my sister), so the above info looks correct.

Their father was:
Nathan Holmes b.c1871 Married to Julia (nee Green) sourced on here

Also from what I can tell from all the above (& some checking on here by myself) Nathan's father was

Robert Holmes and perhaps his father was Thomas Holmes?

I have these on my family tree from checking census etc on here, but I think I may have gone astray somewhere?

Any final words of wisdom would be finally appreciated & I/we can put this beastie to bed.

With grateful thanks
