Hello my name is Debbie and I live in Canberra, Australia and recently discovered my great, great, great grandfather was, according to his passenger record to Australia, a native of Laxton, and I was given the link to the Laxton History Group website.
I am wondering if anyone has any further information, having researched Samuel Holmes perhaps? He was born in 1811 and married a Sarah Lamming in Gainsborough in 1831. Their second son William Holmes was christened in Laxton in 1834, some other surnames in the family from that part of England are Lamming and maybe Humstone, but that one may be from Lincolnshire.
If you have any information, could you email me at Debbie.kampowski@gmail.com.
