The Holman Line

(Numbers in brackets refer to the family tree below)

Sarah Holman (48) was born in Bridford and baptised on 15 January 1707.  She had two brothers and a sister and was the daughter of Hugh Holman and Jane Sanford who had married in 1705.

Hugh Hollman (40) was baptised in Bridford on the 6th September 1663, the son of John Holman and Mary (surname unknown).  The problem with this descent is that Hugh would have been over 40 when he got married.  However, there is scarcely time for an intermediary generation and the family names suggest that this is correct.

John Holman (25) was baptised in Bridford on 29th October 1620, the son of John Holman and Mary Browne who had married on 22nd January 1609

John Holman - the elder- (18) was baptised in Bridford on 18th February 1583, the son of George Holman (wife's name unknown)

George Holman (9) was baptised in Bridford on 5th October 1559, the son of William (1) - wife's name unknown.
