Elizabeth Holmes

Abt 1827 -

• Name	Elizabeth Holmes
  Birth	Abt 5 Oct 1827
  	A little uncertainty about DOB. This date is taken from a baptismal record which gives her father as Joseph Holmes, not John but mother as Eliza. cannot find any other birth/baptismal record for an Elizabeth Holmes and no marriage record for a Joseph and Eliza. Chris Paton is satisfied that this is an error in the record, and her father was John, based on a DNA analysis by one of her descendants. Eliza's marriage cert to Thomas Hyndman shows her father as John and her age as over 21; the baptism record would leave her a few months short of 21 but Protestant baptism often took place some months after birth.
