Charts 1: Holmes Essex tree

I’m uploading a few charts I’ve drawn. The first, a slightly reformatted version of one I put in the previous post, summarizes what we know or surmise about John Holmes’s family in Essex, going back through his three Thomas ancestors and on, somewhat more speculatively, to John of Ramsden Bellhouse and his parents, William and Elizabeth, and William’s possible parents, William and Isabell. The Holmes men are in solid blue boxes, their wives are in outlined boxes, and other relatives including John’s earliest definite ancestor, Thomas Reynolds, are shown with no boxes. Click to enlarge.
