Hi Lesley,
My Great Aunt was Agnes Holmes, the daughter of Horatio Nelson Holmes. Your Father was J
Stanley Phillips, the son of Agnes and Thomas William Phillips. I don't think it was me that had talked to your Father unless it was through Ancestry.com (or maybe this site).
You can connect with me through here, or ancestry.com (Under Goannamanor, or indeed direct through my email address - johnholmes@ozemail.com.au.
Horatio Nelson Holmes was my Great Grandfather, and Horatio (Horace) Holmes was my grandfather.
I live in Australia. Please contact me.........Cheers for now......John.
