David was on the board yesterday, but, of course, it could take him another 8 years to return

And how David thought that Jillian would see his post, when she was last on here in 2008, I really don't know

Brian............

Do you mind my asking...............are you related to a Richard Holmes who would have been born c1940? I think his father was a farmer..........and the family would have been RC

Hi David
I am researching Holme/Holmes in North Lancashire/ South Westmorland area. There are hundreds of them. If you can let me have a few names I'll look through the information I have.

I have a Jane Holme born some tiime around 1760 in my tree, who married Robert Askew in the late 1700's.

As far as I can make out they lived in the area between Coniston and Ulverston. Robert is listed on 1851 census as 'Retired Millwright' but seems to have farmed at High Scathwaite at some stage. At the time this area was part of Lancashire.

I've recently become aware of a Kendal /Orton connection on the other side of this branch of my tree but don't have any definite information.
