Marion -     In 1891 the family are living at 7a Bland Street, Moss Side     William Holmes 51 is now a Commercial Traveller, and it says he was born Bradford.  Sarah A. H. Holmes his wife is 50. Daughters Annie 24, Sarah A. age 20 and Clara E. age 18 are all Shop Assistants. Florence age 16 is a Clerk and Typewriter (typist).
