Hi hope every one is keeping safe
I have a James Henry Holmes 1913 Manchester married to Harriet Lawlor. I've found that James Henry Holmes had at least 2 brother Arthur 1913 and Thomas 1918
It would appear their mothers surname is Turner is their any way of finding out what her Christian name is and the Christian name of her Husband.
The only one I found was a marriage 1908 but not sure about it

Thank you

Have you looked at the GRO index for possible earlier siblings?

If you wish to be 100% certain of parents, buy copy birth cert

Sorry for the wrong birth date yes I have most of that the marriage I saw was William & Florence But I do fancy the last one with Sarah I didn't got back that far and I have got a Sarah Turner in my tree born abt 1884.
How this has come about is I got a DNA match for a 3/4 cousin so I'm trying to find out where the match could be, this person has 12 names on her tree?? and not on ancestry anymore can't understand people paying for DNA then not going into it?

As you say I'll have to see about a certificate But Sarah is good

Thank you
