My 76 year old father was telling me the other day, that his Grandfather left UK to come to Canada. He said the village was called Holmesville, and he had always wondered if that was his Grandfather. I live in Austria now, but Dad and family live in Ontario, as years ago, my Dad packed us up and moved to Canada from England, UK.
