HOLMES -
I am looking for information on William Holmes, wife Blanche Holmes who lived in Bluefield WV. He had brothers Harry Holmes and Dewey Holmes. I believe they moved into the area in the late 1800s and then William moved to Ohio. William, Harry, or Dewey may have been barbers or operated a greenhouse.

I am researching a member of the Eskings family. The 1910 Census head of the household in Mercer County, WV, Beaver Pond District was John W. Taylor age 32 and his wife Ida May Eskings Taylor also age 32. Their 3 sons age 10, 8, & 5. Ida's mother, Sarah Caroline Wright Eskings, age 56 and her son, George W. Eskings age 25. John W. Taylor was listed as working as an Engineer on the Railroad and George W. Eskings was listed as a Boiler Maker at the Railroad Shop. They were in 1900 living in Wise County, Va. at that time the head of the Household was Jerome W. Eskings who was 60 in 1900 Wise Co. Census and worked as a Carpenter. John Taylor was a Coal Miner.
