Warning: Spoiler!Well, the only thing I would have to say to that is isn't this a fictional story with fictional characters as well? So, why not have Holmes and such be real in that world.
The true problem I have with it, is consistency.
Warning: Spoiler!Lupin was a sly slick thief, so I could see it as plausable, him meeting up with some girl through his travels, falling in love, and creating offspring, though it was never mentioned.
Holmes on the other hand, never fell in love and distrusted women so much, he never could have offspring.
Tying the main character to Holmes as a direct 4th generation descendant, is truely too much of a stretch to even be considered plausable to me.
