I would be grateful if someone could look up the
Birrth of Richard Holmes born 1840.
Parents William Holmes and Elizabeth need to know
Elizabeth`s maiden name if possible and any Witnesses please
Thankyou
Carol
 
Hi carol,

This may be it:

Baptised 1st June 1840 St Martins, Richard born 6th May 1840 son of William and Elizabeth Holmes of Lawley Street. Fathers occ Polisher.

witnesses are usually on a marriage - do you know what year/where his parents were married?
 
Hi Pollypops,
Thankyou for the birth of Richard Holmes didn`t it
have his mother`s maiden name.
Sorry i don`t know why i said that about Witnesses
William and Elizabeth married in 1830.
.
When i looked up the childrens births it just says William Holmes and Elizabth
i am looking for the maiden name of Witton.
As i am not sure that these are there children.

Hi Carol, sorry at that time the parish records just states the parents married surname.
I have looked for a marriage and couldn't see one but will go back and double check now I know it was 1830.
