Hello i am also a Holland! but sadly i can only trace my Grandfather Daniel George Holland to his Birth in 1921 and here is where i end! his father was also Daniel! Does anybody have any links via there roots to a Daniel Holland?

hi there. you need to search birth, marriages and deaths in order to get the info to order certificates. it can be very time consuming, i know, but great if you find what you're looking for. my holland married into the smiths. need i say more?
 you can also search the censuses. good luck with the hunt.

I think this is the baptism you're looking for :

WALTHAM ON THE WOLDS, LEI

Boyrenetta HOLLAND      18.1.1825       Thomas & Sarah, Traveller, Waltham

I know the age given at death doesn't tally exactly, but it is well-known that Gypsies and gorgios alike who lived into old age during the 19th (and earlier) century often added up to a decade to their supposed ages.

I hope this helps.

Bit late to an old thread but I'm a descendant of Moses & Ambretta Holland.
would love to chat to you all to see what you know about them I've just started to look into them.

Hope to hear from you
