Ella Brewin

My name is James Holme. I was born in London in 1949. My father was Lt. Col. Hugh Holme born in 1912, the only son of Rev. Maurice Ingram Holme and his wife Ella (nee Brewin), my grandmother.

Between 1901 and 1906, before she married, Ella travelled twice to Canada (1901 and 1902) and to several times to Jamaica to visit relatives. Her brother Francis (Frank) married, Amea, the daughter of Hon. Andrew George Blair (Canadian Minister of Railroads & Canals) and his wife Annie Elisabeth (nee Thompson).These are Ella's letters to her mother.
