Holmes, Edward
(male)
11/10/1799 - 09/04/1859
English
Music critic; wrote for The Atlas and later for The Spectator; wrote A Ramble Among the Musicians of Germany (1828); correct Wellesley's dob of 1797. November 10, 1799, which Holmes gave in his 1848 application for RLF assistance (case 1213), is consistent with his death certificate, which gave Holmes’s age as 59 when he died on 28 August 1859.
