Hi Jean,
I am still looking for this family, I want to know, what happened to Joseph HOLMES, after his wife died in October 1884.
Re... "Their witnesses are Mary H(?) James. The name of the second witness is very hard to read. It may be Alice Iduce. Now that I have spent some time looking at witness signature 2 I wonder if the first name is Lettice!"
Lettice married in 1902. The McCAHON family tree on here, gives an exact date for Lettice HOLMES' marriage to George CLARK, in 1902, and it shows her parents on that tree, as Joseph HOLMES and Harriet BRADSHAW. Maybe, the owner of that tree has her marriage certificate. I wonder who the witnesses were, for Lettice's marriage?
So, if Lettice was a witness, in 1905, (HOLMES - LADHAM marriage) she would have been Lettice CLARK, at that time.
Mary
