Rosa Holmes1843 –

Cannot see how he died in 1850 if he was naturalized in 1857???

May be him, may not be - it's the Rosa Holmes who got my attention, with the combination of the parents' names.

An Ancestry Public Member Tree available for a John HOLMES, b New Hampshire, USA (about 1810), married one Caroline GAGER, (b abt 1821), with a daughter named Rosa (b about 1840, location unknown) and a son, George, born abt 1842, San Francisco, US, deceased 1918, location in New South Wales, Australia.
A typefounder, Holmes may well be working in the burgeoning press industry in the States

Looking like you require access to US records

Contributor seems to be a descendant of 1842 George Holmes.

Have you tried looking for info?


WHEN was John born?


When - and where - were the children born?

I think John was from Alton, Staffordshire, but I'm only guessing at this point.
Thank-you for your reply! Dianne

Welcome to the boards Dianne

where and when were they born please

I'm looking for John Holmes who married Caroline? He was a Typefounder or Ironmonger, they had William Henry, Rosa, George and maybe Alfred. They
moved to the States, then NSW Australia about 1845-1851. Any help would
gratefully be appreciated and thank-you! Dianne
