When and where was their first child born that you know of, Michael?

[Michael]

Good job you asked, because in looking it up I've just found that what I previously thought was wrong :rolleyes: Susannah Holmes born c1818, St Leonard's, London.

Another surprise... while searching for something completely different, I came across a discussion from a year or so ago which I'd missed at the time due to being on the road to Turkey, some of which directly relates to Susan:

I have info on Sarah's line which comes from photocopied pages of an old prayer book which cames down the Holmes line. My brother owns the prayer book.
The book was evidently used in some kind of court case with a reference to Robert Lawrence Randall (sworn 23rd day of July 1915)... before the commisioner for oaths.
Anyway... the inside reads:
William holmes his book March 23 1793
Elizabeth the wife of Wm Holmes was buried June 8 1786
Anne the wife of Wm Holmes was buried August 12 1805
(different handwriting) William Holmes died 18??
Was buried February 17 1815
Next page read
William Holmes is my name and England is my nation
Caister (NB this refers to Caister St Edmunds near Norwich, not the one near Great Yarmouth) is my dwelling place and Christ is my salvation
Anne Holmes is my name and England is my nation
Caister is my dwelling place and Christ is my salvation
Mary Anna Holmes is my name (followed by childish drawing of a little man in a hat)

FamilySearch has a Susan Newman baptised 21 May 1790 at Clare, Suffolk, parents Samuel Newman and Margaret Pearson. Be nice if we could find her marriage to John Holmes to confirm it's the right Susan, though!

[kiterunner]

Aha! Ancestry has the marriage in the LMA records - John Holmes, bachelor, married Susannah Newman, spinster, 9th Aug 1812 at St Stephen Walbrook, City of London. Witnesses Thos Thomas and Wm Lyon (serial witness).
