with Isaac HOLMES 1881 Census 📎 Census

In 1881 they lived as Border Parients in a Hydropathoc Estate. This is probably why Jane their daughter was living in Southport when she married.

1881 census records his age as 69 born 1812. However, I think this is an error and his age was 59 which ties with his age of 27 at marriage.
