Great,Great, Grandfather

A Memory of Gentleshaw.

My great, great, grandfather, John Holmes, was born in Gentleshaw in 1791. He was an agricultural labourer I gather, and married an Elizabeth of the same age. They had a son, Thomas , born in 1826. He moved away and became a coal dealer before farming in Aston Cantlow.
Anyone related or who has any information on the family would be appropriately recompensed and their efforts greatly appreciated. I am the last of the line and living in Suffolk but would like to know more of my forbears.
Thank you so much.
Frank Holmes
