Re: can not get anywhere researching one family ancestor

Two other Holmes births with MMN of EYNON in Neath HOLMES, MARTHA LORRAINE 1914 HOLMES, PHYLLIS MAY 1912 But no Thelma, doesn't feel like right for the direct family but possibly a relative - worth investigating the Holmes/Eynon tree to find if there is an older John Henry Vincent who has passed the...
