Hi Kellie,
Regarding the 1913 death of Joseph HOLMES, of Majors Creek.
I found the following article on Page 5 (which had been carried over from Page 2) of the Braidwood Dispatch, 15 November 1913.
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/10952484?zoomLevel=3&am... "majors creek"&searchLimits=l-state=New+South+Wales|||l-decade=191|||l-title=472
It alludes to the story that HOLMES (deceased), had a daughter in New Zealand.
I assume it is Joseph HOLMES, as that is the only HOLMES death registered at Braidwood in 1913.
