Hi Jean,
Re, this birth and marriage: ... 25653/1882 HOLMES LETTICE JOSEPH HARRIETT (District) LAMBTON
Lettice HOLMES moved to Albany, WA.
Here is her 1902 marriage, in Albany.
HOLMES LETTICE Female CLARK GEORGE CHARLES Male ALBANY 1767 1902
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/88491868?searchTerm=...Last column, (Auction Sale Today, 11 August 1900) has Estate of Holmes, in the above article.
As Lettice HOLMES, was under 21years of age, she would have needed permission to marry. Just wondering if you have her marriage certificate?
Have you found the death of Lettice HOLMES' father, Joseph HOLMES?
I thought, that this death in August 1900, might be him, in Kalgoorlie.

Maybe, the informant had limited knowledge of his background, so the certificate might not help. It would be good if it showed his "time in the colony".
