JAMES HOLMES &
JANE SCOTT JENNINGS
James Holmes was born about 1600 in Ireland,
probably what is now Northern Ireland. One website,
Nicholsonfam.net said he was born in Ruskington,
Lincolnshire. If so, then he moved to Ireland.
All the info I have is third hand. I have no
documentation, but will continue to search for real
records.
About 1631 he married Jane
Scott Jennings in Derry. Lady Jane was said to be the only
daughter of Francis
Jennings and Jean
Scott. re a contributor to My Heritage.
But still no documentation
Their only known child was Mary Holmes,
born by June 16, 1632 in Fermanaugh, Londonderry.
Michael Warner online states that she was
christened in Derry Cathedral. It is
certainly possible. The Cathedral is the oldest
building in Londonderry and was completed in 1633. It is a
trip from Fermanaugh so may have taken time to get there
and the pull of the new cathedral may have been the
incentive. Mary Holmes married John Caldwell June 6,
1654 in Londonderry.
Nothing further is know about this couple.
