Information or RELATIVES of Joseph Holmes 1831

PLEASE
Hello!! I found this topic through Google and just joined the site so I can find out more information!
My name is not really Holmes but I am interested in Joseph Holmes born in 1831 in Wigan, Pemberton, Lancashire, England. He did not marry a local. He married a lady, Mary Clark Woodhead from Rawmarsh, Yorkshire and almost immediately migrated to Australia in 1856. He is my 3x great grandfather!! His mother was Hannah and it seemed he lived with Hannah and Samuel Holmes who may not have married Hannah. He appears in the 1841 and 1851 censuses if we have the correct man.
We don't know about siblings nor where either of his parents are from or their parents.
If ANYONE has information, or if they think they may be related, I would be delighted. I have done DNA testing so we could compare if you have done that testing too.
There is a lot of relatives here in Australia!!!! The township of Holmesville is where he settled with wife Mary and it is still nearby to where I live today. It was named after them.

I have been told (without documents) by a lady who is descended from some
ELLEN HOLMES 1820 to 1866 from Wigan, that Ellen was a sister of Joseph.
Perhaps someone is related /descended from Ellen Holmes?
This lady who told me 9she tried to figure the puzzle and these are her conclusions) also told me that Joseph had a younger brother,
JOHN HOLME/S who was a miner. (1823 to 1906) also from Wigan.
WILLIAM HOLME and SALLY HILL married in August 1806 and they are reportedly the parents of HANNAH HOLMES who is apparently the unmarried mother.
Is anyone descended from them or know about any of these people ?
Thankyou!!
I was also told there is at least one descendant of HOLME and HILL still living in Wigan. I don't know who that is.

"Never theorise before you have data. Invariably, you end up twisting facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts"!

I agree. This is why I am wary and want to verify somehow.
To date everyone over this side of the world thinks Joseph Holmes has no siblings or parents but he came from Wigan. That much we know.
The rest may be true but has been "figured out" by the lady finding a very old notebook (in England). It is the correct Joseph Holmes as his Australian address is in it. But there is nowhere actually saying that these people are his relatives in that book. The book was in Ellen's old home I believe so at least someone knew him.
If more people know stories or if other people have had their DNA tested, we may be able to turn it to facts. I have had a man of Horrocks as a DNA match and can't figure him out and as soon as I got to this site, I saw a question about Horrocks. It had not occurred to me that our mystery DNA match Horrocks might live in Wigan... I will keep figuring for now. Thankyou!!

Even Guy Martin knows that the 'Metropolitan Borough of Wigan' didn't exist in the 1800's!

Oh wow! Winnie you are giving me a lot to think about!
Where did you find all of that information if you don't mind me asking?
Those names are so familiar! Joseph had plenty of children and some of them had those names!
Is it unusual for Hannah Holme to be daughter of William Hulme and husband is Samuel? It sounds like modern days where the lady keeps her own surname . Or perhaps they weren't really married. She did live with a Samuel though.
I had not come across any father for Hannah either. This is great! But I really would love to know how you got it if you don't mind. Are you related to this family?

By the way, Winnie, I would not mind betting my children are related to you. Winstanley is their ancestor!! Small world! If interested, I can tell you more.

i got the info here http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/cgi-bin/mkindx.cgi?parish=Wigan&type=Town&community=Wigan and from ancestry

Thankyou very much Winnie!

Both moved to Silkstone , Yorkshire for work , married two local girls . Then 1856 , the two couples emigrated to Australia.
One of John’s children died of a snakebite while playing in the garden and he brought his family back to Marsh Green , mid 1870s.
