Should be according to the 1930 census New Berlin NY, Charles A. Holmes born about 1862 in New York. Listed as a jeweler own store. He is married to Carrie born in NY about 1874.

If I find more I will let you know.

In 1910 he was in New Berlin & still as a jeweler with own store. His wife however is listed as Ella M.

The 1910 Chenango County New York Directory lists him as a jeweler & bicycles in the Villiage of New Berlin

The 1900 census for New Berlin lists him as being born October 1861. Ella is listed as his wife in 1900, 10 & 20. The Carrie in 1930 so perhaps he remarried or it was a mistake.

Not sure if this is him in 1880, it is the same county & the same year of birth. He is living with his parents in Columbus, Chenango NY, Charles occ. is listed as at home, he has a brother Frank born 1864 listed as at school. The parents are Isaac born 1831 a farmer & Abba born 1833. All were born in NY

Well I found another Charles born 1861 in that same county in NY, his parents were Jason & Louisa. They are in the 1870 census for Columbus, Chenango, NY.

So I am not sure which one is is. Jason is a farmer.

Tom,
I found Isaac listed but did not find anything on Charles.
Thank you very much for taking the time to help me on this one. I don't know how you do it!

Your welcome Ed, I haven't been able to find anything other than the census records of 1870-1880-1900-1910-1920-1930. I was hoping to find him in a city directory or something.

If they ever had any children they are not listed on any of the census records.
