My grandfather, Michael Henry Holmes, was born in Cork May 15, 1862. He was the youngest of 7 born to John Holmes 1808-1896 and Johanna O'Leary 1821-1909. Mike's second oldest brother was Thomas Holmes born 1846, died 1915 in Kansas. He was married to Mary Louise Lillis 1854-1929. When trying to research Holmes, I wish they were a little more creative with their given names. Every generation seems to have the same names. John and Johanna arrived at Castle Garden April 1872 and went directly to Williamsport PA to join John's father (Richard 1788-1827) wife Mary 1788-1872, brother Thomas 1827-1906 wife Catherine Smith 1835, sister Joanna 1815-1884 and her husband Daniel Ring 1812-1878. John and Johanna soon moved to Smoky Hill KS to live with oldest son, Richard. Does any of this connect with what you have? Sharon Holmes Sanborn
