Hi Andy

That sounds as if it could be her especially as the son has been given her maiden name as his middle name.

Hi

I wonder if anyone can find more about this lady than I have.

Ada Margaret Barbara Holmes born 1865 Burrows Lancashire to Henry Tuke Holmes and Mary Holmes.

The 3 infos I can find come with a variety of names but I know they are the right ones.

BIRTH: Ada Margaret Holme
1871: Ada B M Holmes living with parents in Wacton Norfolk
1891: Barbara Holmes staying with her Mothers sister, Annie Fowler, in Ecclesfield

That's all I can find. I would be grateful for any help.

Many thanks

Margaret
