John Holmes
18?? - ????
John Holmes was Calum's and Jamie's great
great great great grandfather.
The only information so far known about John
comes from the wedding certificate of his daughter Lizzie in 1900. In this he is described as a shoemaker,
presumably in the Rosemount area of Derry City, where Lizzie was recorded as living at that time. In the 1901 census,
Lizzie stated her birthplace as County Donegal in Ireland, so it is believed that this may also have been where John
came from.
