Wow!! Minnie, you're a fast worker ;o)
Thanks so much
Yep I was told Henry's wife was Alice Eveline but I don't have any certificates. To obtain a marriage certificate or view it, what would I do?

Alice Lilian Holmes - Siblings -Henry, Bertram, Nellie, Mayes AKA Morris, Frank, Grace, Frederick,Hilda & Dorothy.
Would dearly love to hear from anyone connected to any of the above and find the correct parents.
I know father was Henry Thomas Holmes.C1858 and was told he married Alice Hobbs but would like to confirm so I can start tracing backwards, sideways, etc and eventually find living descendants too
They were from Woolwich, Plumstead areas

Alice Lilian Holmes (Lily) b05/04/1881 d14/02/1964 was my grandmother whom I never met. I've inherited a tin of photos from my dad, he died in 2001 and I regret never asking him about the people on the pics.
I know Hilda died aged 20 and Nellie married a Richard Norman.

Are you related to any of the Holmes's above, if so please get in touch. Do you know the parents beyond Henry Thomas Holmes?

Look forward to hearing from anyone with info

regards
Sue
