Research Notes
Margaret Jane Jennings is supposed to have been baptized on 2 Jul.1694 in County Down, Ireland, but the certificate is known to have been forged. The date seems likely enough.
Unsubstantiated info says the Holmes Estate is still intact, lodged in the Bank of England & worth billions. Don't get too excited. For over a hundred years, many descendants &/or their attorneys have tried to find a way to get at it, but their quests always ended with no money & if they were too persistent, mysterious accidents. It's said the British government will never let it go!
