      https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/ 1892/829 Clara Coker to Henry Holmes
      Clara would have been around 36 when married. Have not found any ancestry trees for a Henry Holmes who married a Clara Coker in NZ in 1892.
      However, when her husband died in 1894, the informant was Clara's brother, Alfred, who'd also emigrated to NZ.
