Christening of John Holmes in the IGI on 11 September 1715 in Guiseley, Yorkshire, father William Holmes and his death on 31 October 1716.

Another entry gives his birth on 11 July 1515 in Yeadon-Guisley, Yorkshire.

There are six entries in Ancestry Public Member Trees for John Holmes christened on 11 September 1715 in Yeadon, parents William Holmes and Martha Long, and his burial on 31 October 1716, two of which place Yeadon in Delaware, Pennsylvania, United States.
Guiseley is about 9 miles NW of Leeds and Yeadon is 2 miles SE of Guiseley, while Harewood is 8 miles north of Leeds on A61 and 10 miles from Yeadon. I do not understand why the Ancestry databases state Harewood - I assume the pages have been shuffled, but it may be that a copy of the entries was sent to Harewood.
John Holmes was Felicity's fifth great granduncle.
