Hullo to all,

I live in Richmond, a historic town by aussie standards.
Retired from the R.A.A.F. Interests, community activites as most retired people seem to do.

I am researching my Mother's family but know very little of her history.
Her name was Glory Holmes born 12 Nov 1898, Stoke on Trent, parents Thomas Holmes and Jeanette (Hunnisette?).

Thomas was a retired Naval Officer, Jeanette thought to have been French.

My Mother came to Australia possibly about 1914?

Regards

Hi,

I've looked and looked and cannot find anything on Glory and her family.
Was Glory her name or nick name?

Did Glory emirgrate alone or with her parents?

Findmymypast have immigrations records which are pay per view. Nothing for Glory Holmes unless she is under G Holmes, which I couldnt check as I didnt have any credit left.

The National Archives at Kew hold military records if you want to go down that road see link below.
