Biography

William was born in 1944 and baptised in 1844-07-14. He was the son of William Holmes and Elizabeth Foster. He passed away in 1910. The clues to dates, places, and the picture, was given by his granddaughter Irene May (Holmes) West (Holmes-11814). These clues made finding the source data very much easier. He was born near to Newport in an area still call Parkhurst Barracks, by the locals. However before he was born the actual barracks' name had been changed to Albany Barracks. As none of the family has been found to have been a soldier, we must assume that it is an area near the Barracks that the local people call Parkhurst Barracks, and he was born in that area.

William and Emma also had 3 daughters, Flora, Sarah and Ethel, aunts of Irene May West, she says that they never got married, she has no pictures of them, nor remembers any dates applicable to them. She tells me (Martyn John West) that their faces are very clear in her head. It seems that my mother was wrong, she called them aunty, but in fact they were her cousins. they were about the same age as her father, but were daughters of his very much older brother. Flora, as see was known is in fact Florence.
